I have a solution in mind (using a temporary environment variable) to transfer the context from the shell script to CMake (this involves effectively going from one operating environment - MinGW-w64/MSYS2 - to another - "bare Windows") and I expect it to work, but I need to test it. And it may be there is a more elegant and robust way. Will keep you informed.

Hi Arjen:

The diff executable from the MinGW-w64/MSYS2 Unix tools should "just
work" if run from a bash script (as in comprehensive testing, ctest,
etc.) Is the issue simply that our build system is finding something
other than /usr/bin/diff.exe from the MinGW-w64/MSYS2 diffstat package?

If the issue is more complicated than that, please send me the
relevant report tarball.
