No problem. I use this to generate a standard diff between my abi.org and abi 
directory. Executed by cygwin bash. Worked well on 20.1 as well as 21.0, but you have 
to change 'WIN32_21.0_i386' to match you flavour. I have not tested on the new cygwin 
1.1.0

#!/bin/sh
diff -u -r -N -x CVS -x WIN32_21.0_i386_DBG -x WIN32_21.0_i386_OBJ --minimal 
abi.org/src/ abi/src/ > diff_last.txt

diff.sh
