RE: Diff mysteriously stopped working

Fantastic!

I went to the _diff_fp class within lib/vclib/__init__.py and modified
as follows:

<       self.fp = popen.popen("diff", args, "r")
---
>       self.fp = popen.popen("/usr/local/bin/diff", args, "r")

I still can't explain why this worked perfectly for weeks and then
suddenly failed. Oh well, can't argue with success!

Thank you! :)
