There are two options for the diff lib in hg 0.8 and higher.  You set them via 
the .hgrc.  The code also supports setting the number of context lines, but 
apparently I forgot to add .hgrc entries for it.

[diff]
showfunc=True|False # default true
ignorews=True|False # default false

showfunc=True gives you diff -p
ignorews=True ignores spaces and tabs on a single line.  vertical ws is still 
factored in.

i have a fix in crew repo. please try, but look at issue 127 too so you will not
be surprised if ignoring white space does not always work.

It would really be nice if diff had some more options, one ignoring white space
(horizontal and/or vertical) would be very nice.
