mpatch can do that, and patch.applydiff() (in crew) still has the 
'reverse' option, but it cannot be set via patch.patch(). I do not know 
to which extent the --reverse option is compatible with patch utilities 
out there. If it is, I guess patch.patch() can just accept an optional 
'reverse' argument.
