The tests for csvdiff are failing on my windows machine, therefore I can not check for side effects easily. I opened a new ticket for the failing tests. See #9 discussion for more information.

Thanks for the patch. Since csvdiff is meant to work like unix diff, where you diff files A and B, and then you can apply that diff to A to get B, then it's not enough to just get csvdiff working. csvpatch also needs to work with these placeholders.

Closing for now, feel free to propose how to close the whole loop without breaking the patch format.
