I don't think `diff-latest-backup-file' belongs in files.el, but it ought to be autoloaded if dired-diff uses it. I did that in trunk. Frankly, I'm not sure `diff-latest-backup-file' needs to exist. Its only purpose is to run the `diff-latest-backup-file' file handler if there's one, but nothing in the Emacs code tree actually implements that handler. So it seems to be a bit of useless cruft.
