OK, this really sucks. diff has lost the -P option, that I've been
relying on. Compare:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=diff&manpath=FreeBSD+7.1-RELEASE
It used to say:
-P When comparing directories, if a file appears only in the second
directory of the two, treat it as present but empty in the
other.
Now it's gone. Regression?
It looks like the -P option was removed from diff between FreeBSD
6.2-Release and FreeBSD 6.3-Release (diffutils 2.8.7).
You can use --unidirectional-new-file instead.
