[TxMt] Compare text files based on words not lines

[Mark Eli Kalderon]

I use the FileMerge bundle. What problems are you experiencing with  
UTF-8? If it is a problem, there is a diff frontend wdiff that yields  
word differences. It can be found on Fink. It should be relatively  
easy to build a word difference bundle around it. All the best, Mark
