Details

vimdiff is the default diff program of pacdiff (now provided by the pacman package).

$ grep vimdiff =pacdiff
diffprog=${DIFFPROG:-vimdiff}


$ pacman -Qo vimdiff
/usr/bin/vimdiff is owned by vim 7.3.875-1

I think we should at least add an optdeps like
optdepends+=("vim: needed by pacdiff")
This task depends upon

I'm going to not do this and instead suggest that pacdiff should check that DIFFPROG is available and give an error message if not.
