Ediff has some functionality like this -- it `refines' thunks it gets
from diff by doing its own diff algorithm at the character level, and
can indicate via faces which parts of thunks are important.

Perhaps the ediff code that does this can be stolen to provide a simple
filter for patch files that could add face text properties as
appropriate.
