+     "GNU Wdiff is a front end to 'diff' for comparing files on a word per
+word basis.  A word is anything between whitespace.  This is useful for
+comparing two texts in which a few words have been changed and for which
+paragraphs have been refilled.  It works by creating two temporary files, one
+word per line, and then executes 'diff' on these files.  It collects the
+'diff' output and uses it to produce a nicer display of word differences
+between the original files.")
