So I am not alone in seeing the problem at least. But (oh, this is 
memories from the past!) since it is only text files we patch here why 
are cr-lf etc a problem? Can't ediff-patch handle these for us? (And we 
take the responsibility for ignoring spaces - I guess there is ediff 
support for this in this case too?)
