RCS in Minix needs diffutils, at run time (because the basic commands do
not include diff3 nor sdiff, needed for 3-way merges). So I "fixed"
diffutils too (it really boils down adding empty .[br]deps; I cut out
the NLS stuff just in case, but I don't believe there are actual effects.)
In order to make things easier, I moved the installation of RCS to the
/usr/gnu hierarchy; anyway RCS is formally maintained by the GNU people,
and the distributor is the FSF.
I included the diffs (both in svn aka -u format and in official/Posix -c
formats) for both packages.
Remember that both packages add man pages in the /usr/gnu/man hierarchy,
so a proper installation needs to run
makewhatis /usr/gnu/man
after the file copying phase.
The real fine point is that people that have already installed (in
/usr/local) rcs-5.7 will end up with two installations...
