Emacs 22: ediff-whitespace is missing some whitespace characters

[Michael Ernst]

Ediff should consider \r, which is used by DOS (and Mac) to terminate
lines, and \240, which is the Unicode non-breaking space, as whitespace
characters.  Doing so greatly improves the visual results.  Or, if there is
some reason that they are omitted, that should be indicated in the source
code, so that others don't wonder at the reason for the sub-optimal
results.

        * ediff-diff.el (ediff-whitespace): Consider carriage return and
        non-breaking space to be white space.
