diff feature does not work for *.pptx (and probably other *.*x type files) #103

What's the link to the discussion about the problem on the mailing list?
-none- its definitely a bug! and it has a known work-around.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. take some *.pptx file and check it into a repository
2. change a few elements in this file and check it in again
3. go to the repo change log in Tortoise SVN 1.7.0 and try "diff agains 
previous version"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
i expected a window to open where i can browse the diff (e.g. MS Powerpoint 
2010).
instead i am seeing a dialog telling me it did not find "C:\Program 
Files\TortoiseSVN\Diff-Scripts\diff-pptx.js"

What version of TortoiseSVN are you using?
1.7.0 for x64

What Windows version are you using?
Windows 7 64 bit

Please provide any additional information below.
I inspected the given folder and found several scripts - none has a name that 
indicates it would support the *.*x document types. Then i inspected the script 
diff-ppt.js and found the first line telling me this "// extensions: 
ppt;pptx;pptm". I copied the file and renamed it to what file is missing in my 
system. Then i tried again with tortoise menu entry for diff -> it worked for 
me. (thats only work around! should be fixed in the Tortoise installation or 
even in the parser by letting him check the script contents in order to locate 
compatible scripts... this method would not only fix one case but probably all 
possible cases.)

probably duplicate of #102 - but has selected a different set of keywords, has 
a work-aroung proposal inside.
