Two text files with different layout making comparison look ugly

The OOWriter v4.1.1 built-in "Edit->Compare Document..." produces a rather
unusable results when comparing texts with different layout.

Semantically same sentences are considered different just because there was the
<CR><LF> somewhere before the semantic terminator (i.e. a full stop, question
or exclamation sign, etc) in one of the samples being compared.

If comparator code would disregard such non-semantic entities and only pay
attention for semantic terminators - its' output would look much more nicely.

Here are the two my real-life examples which produce an unusable compare
result.
