I also will look into a pyro extension.

Probably. Most files end up different in the PE header if nowhere else. 
Torch uses a binary diff if a file isn't obviously different (i.e., different
sizes). Diffing by PE version, if present, seems a fine feature request. It's
also something you can do yourself with a BinderFileManager in an extension.
