Re: Use a *real* built-in diff generator

Looks good. With this, I think it's certainly ready for the "next" branch, 
and with some testing should be quite mergable into the main branch too.

I really didn't have to mess up the libxdiff files very much, so I don't 
think I introduced any new bugs, and libxdiff itself seems to be pretty 
stable (and that's partly from running the tests, but even more from just 
looking at the code and not having any 'Ewww! Gross!'-moments).

Which is not to say that there couldn't be bugs, but I think this is very 
much worth merging quickly..

I'll find time to omit prepare_temp_file() calls from diffcore
emit routines over the weekend.  Another useful project would be
to redo the combine-diff.c using the real built-in diff.

I think the pickaxe improvements would be an even bigger thing..
