Re: rcs and Solaris 10 diff

[Aaron S. Hawley]

Barring any modifications to source made by blastwave, no.  The diff
command is specified as a constant (macro "DIFF"), and is set by the
configure script created by GNU autoconf.

If I were you, I'd file a bug to blastwave, as they probably need to deal
with these sort of package issues.  Until then, you'll need to compile RCS
as you'd like.
