Please use a context diff for patches (-c or -u option). I think this should go in the SourceForge RFE (Request For Enhancement) tracker (with the patch as attachment). It should be configurable (both whether, and where), and probably off by default. On Windows it is by no means certain that C: exists nor that C:\ is writable by Joe Random Luser. What about errors?

Having said all of this, I think a patch like this has potential and could be included.
