   I'd like some new options.  Instead of highlighting the entire line like
diff would, only high light the differences (at a character level).  It
would also be nice if there was an option to ignore blank lines in
the comparisons.  Some of these options are in a program call spiff.  I don't
know were spiff came from, but a graphical (as in gdiff) version of spiff
would be great.
