Thanks for suggesting this, Paul.

Vincent has a reasonable concern that passing everything through might
give confusing behaviour if we change options in future.

A few options:

 * pass through particular short and long options known to be
meaningful to gnu diff, thereby also making sure we don't accept them
ourselves in future (for example -w)
 * have a shorter version of --diff-options
 * have an option to turn this on (kind of an "unbreak me" option though)
