Relying on `diff` for storing the pre-change content did not work out as it opens the file descriptors to soon and only reads the first block of pre-change file content until the remaining content is actually required. This obviously led to problems when tracking actually changing files.

This obviously leads to synchronizing syscalls that would otherwise happen in parallel. Luckily the goal of this library is to monitor file changes performed by single, user facing applications and as such it doesn't matter if some operations are slightly slower.

While the file arguments remain fixed the actual `diff` application and its output style can be changed using the `CHANGE_LOG_DIFF_CMD` environment variable.
