I've finally managed GNU-diff (tip of master) to work on
Windows. It was a hellish issue with how an 'open(".",O_RDONLY)'
failed. Even 'getcwd(NULL,0)' could fail!

But 'diff.exe' now works except for this trailing '\' issue:
  'diff -r . sub-dir'   does work
  'diff -r . sub-dir/'  does work
  'diff -r . sub-dir\'  does not work

Any clue on that?
