That would work better if GNU diff's definition of whitespace included 
newlines.

But I agree with Dwight Kelly, particularly given what the code is being 
reformatted to is so non-standard, reduces the effectiveness of a 24x80 
screen, and, worse, given the incremental nature of these changes, hampers the 
code's legibility with inconsistent formatting.
