Re: [PATCH v2 4/5] Make boundary characters for --color-words configurable

With following patch, the diff output becomes (i don't know which one is better)

OpenOffice.org has {+a }user setting for defining the minimum length for
words to be hyphenated. By default the word length is counted from the
whole word - even for compound words. For example the {compound +}word
'elokuvalippu' is {+considered }12 characters long. The word will be hyphenated like
 'elo-ku-va-lip-pu' in all cases when the minimum word length is set to
 12 or less. If the minimum length is set to 13 or more the word is not
 hyphenated at all.

Yeah, after playing with it a bit, I realize that my original stated goal
of not playing games with "newline suppression" goes very against what
color-words, which is a word oriented diff, tries to achieve.  It appears
that it is necessary to reintroduce suppressed_newline.
