Before feeding minus and plus lines into xdi_diff, we replace non word characters with '\n'. So we need recover the replaced character (always the last character) in the callback fn_out_diff_words_aux. Therefore, a common diff line beginning with ' ' is not always a real common line. And we should check the last characters of the common diff line. If they are different, we should output the first len-1 characters as the common part and then the last characters in minus and plus separately.
