While installing it I noticed that the programs look for "diff" in the
current directory.  Did I miss something, or do they really do this.

I glanced (time is in short supply :-) at the sources and noticed
this might be caused by NOT using an execp (notice the p) instead of
an exec call; I thought MSDOS does not automatically search the PATH,
this has to be done explicitly in the library (hence the execp).

Can anybody confirm this?
