Utility installation problem - diff (diffutils)

When we installed Cygwin, we noticed that the "diff" utility wasn't installed by default. We then installed diffutils, and diff crashed when a run was attempted from the Cygwin shell. From the Windows command prompt, it gave an error "missing dll (cygintl-2.dll)". We tried to find cygintl-2.dll

Again about symbolic links, here is some new inputs: 1) MAXSYMLINKS is no longer used in modern Cygwin's; indeed, cygwin-1.5.25-15 uses MAX_LINK_DEPTH and cygwin-1.7.0-42 uses SYMLOOP_MAX; both are set to 10 (in ./winsup/cygwin/path.h for 1.5 and in ./winsup/cygwin/include/limits.h f
