It is wierd...

$ ~/local/private/src/svn/ac-helpers> svn log -r 1:4120 check-diff.sh
------------------------------------------------------------------------
rev 1669: kfogel | 2002-04-11 14:51:27 -0400 (Thu, 11 Apr 2002) | 22 lines

Check that the diff program supports the "-u" flag, since `svn diff'
wants to pass it by default. This somewhat reverts rev 1503, except
that we're not demanding GNU diff now, just support for "-u".

* ac-helpers/check-diff.sh: New file. Based on old
  gnu-diff.sh from rev 1502, but with different tests.

* ac-helpers/check-diff-input-1.txt,
  ac-helpers/check-diff-input-2.txt: New files

* ac-helpers: Add "check-diff-output.tmp" to svn:ignore
  property.

* autogen.sh: Add check-diff.sh to the list of files to
  set executable.

* configure.in: Run ac-helpers/check-diff.sh to find the
  diff program. Also, tweak the diff3 error message.

* CHANGES: Note the new dependency.
