I want these functions:
 
    proc diff {old new} -> # diff data "ddata"
    proc patch {old ddata} -> # new
 
where old and new are strings.
 
I thought the Tcllib's rcs module could do this but I can't figure it
out.
 
Is this possible using the rcs module or using the struct::list
module's LCS functions?

 
The patch functionality (but not the diff) is provided by the textutil
package,
if I understand it correctly.

Yes, but this works on files; I need to work with strings.
