but then you also have to change the type of xdl_opts
to uint64_t, which in turn means that you will have to change the
definition of xpparam_t's "flags" field from unsigned long to uint64_t.

I miss a connection here. This new flag is intended to be used in
"flags" field in struct diff_options. Is there any chance it can be
set on xdl_opts (of the same struct, I assume)?

Maybe this can be avoided?

I don't see a good way to avoid it. We normally enable or disable diff
features as bit flags and now we run out of bits. Adding something
like "flags2" works, but not pretty. Any suggestion is welcome.

Never mind. I think I found some way that does not look particularly bad.
