Have you considered using a source code management system to maintain the source code?  A system such as rcs or cvs?  For the future version, once established you can install original source code into the system
for version control.  check out the part you need to alter.  Check in the altered version, and rcs or cvs will store the changes as a series of deltas from the original.  You can then extract from the repository the most recent version or any prior version.  you can also use it to extract only you modification so that they could be applied to even more future offical version of the software, with appropriate additional modifications.  It does not eliminate all headaches of maintaining a customized version of the software, but it can help.
