Hello!

Are there plans for replacing the GNU diffutils with BSD ones?

If not, I suggest looking at OpenBSD's version of these tools.
Performance is nice, and those tools have a much better and cleaner
documentation, not a simple list of "supported options" as diffutils
does.

What about bc(1) and dc(1)? Again, documentation is much better
and the only missing features are some non standard extensions.

Cheers,
Igor.
