yeah, when i looked that was the only other place it was. i don't
particularly like having both installing their own copy, but at least
at the moment they're installing into their own subdirs so they won't
be overwriting each other.
in the long run, if we could change both of them to use one installed
separately it would be best, but it seems that at the moment they are
fairly entrenched in the respective trees, so it's going to take some
work.
personally i think the neon problem is both more pressing and easier
to solve, so i'm going to tackle that one first.

yeah, i agree that would probably be best in the long run.

yeah, i figured a port of diffutils would probably be the 'path of

cool, thanks!
