This works, but is less than ideal, and I don't end up with nice
graphics as I do with the web interface. The best thing about the web
interface is I get the same sort of output I would expect with a
graphical diff tool, but in my browser. I usually have a Firefox tab
open to that diff while working on the related package in a ssh
session.
