I checked all wdiff-0.5.9* from this site and in contrast to 0.5 I got
from more regular place (googled) they don't compile on MacOSX 10.6.2
albeit they compile on x86_64-linux

But version 0.5 has only one problem: it does not recognize
'--avoid-wraps' but it does recognize '-n' so hard editing texdiff
fixes the problem.

However I find texdiff inferior to latexdiff at least in interface as
texdiff does not produce tex-ready file: one needs to modify its
preamble
