That is expected, diff.exe is what is needed.

Pretty much any version of diff.exe should work as long as it's either GNU diff
or something compatible with it. Using the GNU diffutils will definitely work
because that's what we use on Fedora GNU/Linux and thus what I test with.

> add dependency to diffutils for kompare package

Thanks, that should make Kompare easier to install for users of that inferior
operating system. ;-)
