[h-e-w] ediff problem on Cygwin

[Uday S Reddy]

I saved a bunch of Emacs custom options into a file and wanted to compare them 
with another version of the same.

Running ediff on them says:
    "Files saved-options and saved-options2 differ"

in an ediff-errors buffer.

Running diff in the shell says the same thing.  However diff --text works fine.

I have tried setting ediff-diff-options to "--text", but it gives the same 
error as above.

Any ideas what to do about this problem?

Cheers,
Uday
