Why doesn't this work on Windows?

This plugin wraps the GNU patch tool, which must be in your PATH in order to function properly. A Windows installation usually does not ship with this tool so you will need to install it manually. You might be able to get this plugin working within Cygwin or by using the port Patch for Windows.
