Thanks for the pointer (and to Ken Weinert).
The one from gnu.org is circa 1994, and core dumped on me after
compiling with some warnings.
I don't see it in rh9.
It is in debian:
http://packages.debian.org/stable/text/wdiff.html
Applying the "diff" patch referenced on that page worked fine and it
runs surprisingly quickly on a pair of 80-page files.
Some hints for highlighting with nroff or latex are at

Ahh - the power of open source and a helpful community....
