In that case, you won't be able to use the svn_client_diff API at all.

It's not a really small change, and your change is wrong because it
totally ignores config files. Besides, making this a compile-time
options means that different clients wouldn't be able to share the same
Subversion libraries. Yuck.
If you want that level of configurability, I suggest designing
client.side hooks/callbacks. But the first step is to finally implement
some kind of context from which the library functios can pull
configuration settings, instead of every function parsing the config all
over again.
