Now has consistent indentation on the right side for any width. - Completed the --help option. - The man page for BSD sdiff was lacking a lot of information, so I completed it. For the most part, there doesn't seem to be much left to do with sdiff except fix a few scattered bugs. In Ben Fiedler's 2010 SoC wiki page, the only TODO he had left for sdiff was to pass the diff-specific args in sdiff to a diff process. This is working for all diff-specific options right now except for -W, which when passed to diff, thinks it is -w and exits with an error. Today I will try to fix this bug. I will also begin testing BSD sdiff together with BSD diff to see if everything works fine, since sdiff calls whatever diff is in /usr/bin, which has been GNU diff for me. I will probably spend the majority of the week working on what I have left to do in diff, unless I can find any more work to be done in sdiff. Google's evaluations are also this week, so I will fill that out once it is posted today on the GSoC site.
