Bug Description
bzr diff --diff-options -w (or with =-w, "-w", ="-w") works fine on Ubuntu (producing a diff that ignores whitespace), but on Windows I get
=== modified file 'src/SConscript'
bzr: ERROR [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified
This is happening because "--diff-options" causes bzr to use the external diff tool, which can not be found.
Bazaar should print a more sensible error if it can not find diff.exe.

I wonder if we're outputting a path like \bar/src/ Sconscript
c:\\foo\
