%%short-description: Front end to GNU 'diff.'
 
%%full-description: Compares two files on a word per word basis,
finding the word deleted or added from the first file to make the
second. A word is defined as anything between whitespace. It works by
creating two temporary files, one word per line, and the executes
'diff' on these fields. It collects the 'diff' output and uses it to
produce a nicer display of word differences between the original
files.
