Line diff handled badly (by old algorithm)

Hi Stefan,

You asked for an example of the old line diff algorithm not working
well. I have seen it several times, but of course I can't find an
example now. I just made this one up, and it sort of shows the problem:

// pointer to function returning int
// pointer to function returning pointer to int

Put these in separate files and diff. The line diff highlights show that
'int' has changed to 'int' (?) and the 'pointer to' is just marked in
green because the algorithm already found a match for it.

But of course that's with the old method which I think you just got rid
of. I've just downloaded a nightly to try out your weekend's work :-)

Simon
