r1912724 adds a docstring to FileDiff.get_pipe() documenting this behaviour.
r1912743 improves the errstr in the exception to say that the "external diff
command" is not found.

> In function get_pipe, class FileDiff spawns a "diff" process, but usually no
> "diff.exe" executable is available under Windows, so the FileDiff class might
> be
> completely non-functional on most Win installation. Maybe using Python difflib
> calls could be a better solution.
