That said, I have been hating that diff options parsing for
quite a while, and I've been thinking about cleaning it up along
the lines I'll outline here, but have not done anything about
it.  Care to help me out?

I didn't do what you suggested, but I _did_ split the "format" up into 
"format + line_termination", which in my opinion cleaned up part of it a 
_lot_.

Agreed 100%.  Regardless of the further cleanup I suggested,
what you did was something I should have done in the first
place.  Thanks for the cleanup.
