Sending patches is good, but for windows it is good to use
"diff -bu", where the "b" option makes sure blanks are ignored (otherwise
the whole file is different only due to missing ^M's).

The errors you have are due to the files that are generated by flex and yacc
(from .l and .y files), which are in the source distribution but not in 
CVS (they are generated after all). 

To fix this in a nice way the project should add
custom build rules for the flex and yacc files. If you assume flex and yacc are
in the path this could even be done in a portable way. You could look at
src/libdoxygen.t for info how to call flex and yacc in order to generate the
missing files.
