Unfortunately not portable:

$ /usr/bin/diff -a foo bar
/usr/bin/diff: illegal option -- a       usage: diff [ -C n ] [ -S name ] [ -bcefhilnrstw ] dir1 dir2
diff[-C n ] [ -bcefhintw ] file1 file2               diff [ -D string ] [ -biw ] file1 file2
 

Perhaps Stefan can run the test manually and get us a readable diff.
