Not sure that it could solve your issue ... but I wrote a tool that - at |

In general the usage of sdiff is terrible to me. So I did my own |
| 19 |
solution. Unfortunately it is not ready to publish it, but if it is |

perhaps of interest to you have a look at |

http://gentoo.dyndn.es/doku.php/utils:qrtconf. This page describes |

mainly the concept and isn't really finished. If it would be worth to |
| 23 |
give it a try to you let me know and I will share it. For me it works |

since a few years with some development. |
