  * Clarify that diff uses an external utility
  
  The first several times I read the help content for the diff command,
  I understood that darcs used an internal diff utility unless an
  external command was specified.  The slow performance confused me.
  After reading the code, I see that it always runs an external diff
  utility and --diff-command simply specifies which one to run.
