On some systems that are AT&T based, RCS has a /usr/lib/rdiff and
/usr/lib/rdiff3 that it uses in place of the diff and diff3 commands.
These diff programs are usually derived from the Berkeley diff systems.

On the other hand, some versions of RCS seem to ship their own diff
along with them as part of their environment.  If you built your version
of RCS, you might check your source area to see if there is any diff
source that you can install in an area that RCS can reach.
