C disturbs me as a module name, and anyway I'm not sure this is still required with modern hardware, as the only reason for it seems to be performance.

I haven't looked closely at how you are using this, but perhaps you could just exec the rdiff binary?

Though compiling the rdiff binary on windows has it's own issues, as it needs popt, and I'm not sure how easy it is to get/install popt on windows... I think you need cygwin for that.

I've been considering switching to use some other alternative to popt that is more widely available like gengetopt to fix this, but haven't done anything on it yet.
