Sure, but they are not "standard", for what it means. I.e., you can
reasonably assume that every Unix installation provides diff and patch.
You cannot assume that any Windows installation has cygwin installed.

I am not defending Glade here - just trying to explain why round-trip is
not implemented under Windows. I definitely would welcome an install
parameter where you could define how your diff is named and where it
resides on your machine. The fact is that the Glade maintainers didn't
do it.

(I'm trying to voice this not too loud, or the guys will tell me: "what
a good idea, please do it and we'll be happy to integrate" - that's how
it happens in the free software world. Well, if there are any takers...)
