Summary:                    rcsdiff not calling /opt/csw/bin/diff
Description: 
rcsdiff needs to be compiled with --with-diffutils, otherwise it uses
/usr/bin/diff. This causes a problem with cvsweb because it assumes diff -u
is available, but Solaris\' /usr/bin/diff does not support this flag.

Also, since CSW diffutils installs diff as /opt/csw/bin/gdiff, it will be
necessary to set DIFF=gdiff before running configure.

This would introduce a dependency of diffutils on this package, but would
then allow rcs to run in a more GNU fashion than with the limitations of
Solaris diff.
