Ask the user at install time?

s/Cygwin//

Good question.

1) Let the user decide. This leaves us with a problem, since we
   hardcode the path... We need to figure out where diff is located
   at runtime (registry?).

2) Put them in the same path as the svn binaries. We can then determine
   at runtime where svn was started from, and call diff from the same
   location.

Branko usually does this, but I have a build environment setup for this aswell.
Others?
