[TxMt] Re: Other Diff

[Timothy Bates]

Here's a vote for integrating wdiff into the diff bundle...

I find the current diff compare output almost useless for most of hte  
files I want to compare, as they are nearly always minor changes or a  
word in a line... diff essentially reports the two documents in  
interleaved blocks, which cannot help reconcile or even make salient  
the actual differences.

PS: Maarten Hekkelman's "Pepper" text editor  (kind of textmate before  
textmate) did a great job of this!
