the issue little more complex for me
because iam using diff from git-windows package
where git/diff compiled with mingw cygwin depend dll
and doest use stat from diff

today iam post to cygwin maillist
and seems guys dont want to fix this, they decide the problem more
complex and has many corners

so will be nice to improve diff for windows without touch "stat" call

may be will possible change some logic into diff for windows
