Difftastic now handles tab characters precisely! This sounds like a small thing, but it's crucial when parsing Makefile syntax. Makefiles look way better now. (Technically tabs are also syntactically significant inside string literals, and that case is fixed too.)

Sometimes I use tools because they're clearly technically superior. Sometimes though it's because the maintainer is a delight to work with.
