Bug/Feature Request for TortoiseMerge

Not sure that this is really a bug, probably more of a feature request. I am
using the latest release.

I have two XML files and TortoiseMerge shows the first lines as being
different even though they appear identical. Ignoring white space does not
cause them to be shown as identical. Ignoring line feed differences does not
show them as being identical either.

It turns out that there were three unprintable characters at the beginning
of the line. It would be very handy if there were a way to flag unprintable
characters so that we can see that they are there. Another very useful
option would be able to display a hex view of the file with the diffs
highlighted. In this way, we could actually see the hex character
differences.

Thanks,

Randall Campbell
