Works like a charm. Thanks!
Next thing I'll have to look at is whether I can influence diff's
strategy for identifying changes. It seems to me, diff is trying to
minimize the number of changes. For my purposes, a strategy that results
in (higher number of) smaller changes might be more suitable.
As far as vim is concerned, I would like to find out two things: Is
there any way to suppress the "missing lines" displayed in the diff
view? And is it possible not to highlight the "changed" lines?
