I think highlighting inline and side-by-side diff outputs is
something different from "git diff --word-diff". I find it useful for
people who are used to these diff formats (i.e. me :).
OTOH I'm not against using a dedicated package from CPAN. But I think
my approach is proven to work (I use contrib/diff-highlight as a
filter) and more lightweight (doesn't add another dependency to
gitweb). Moreover, adding support for some Diff package may be done
later, at any moment. It's just a matter of replacing one function
(format_rem_add_line()) with the one that uses Diff.
