But PATH wont tell you whether you should use gdiff or diff. dvc-site
was introduced to avoid the need to patch DVC in the case where
executables didnt have the expected name (I had in mind the freebsd
port, which had only this as a patch).

If you remove it, please provide a way for the guy installing DVC to
point diff to gdiff and patch to gpatch.
