difff's Issues

Configurable diff program

It should be possible to pass an executable name and parameters to see different types of diffs.

Avoid sorting

Sorting should probably be done by surrounding tools, according to the "do one thing" Unix commandment. Maybe a parameter -s|--sort could be used for this.
