I don't know ediff very much, but diff-mode also highlights fine diffs
(via diff-refine-hunk or diff-auto-refine-mode, for example).  I know
this code fairly well since I wrote it, and to the best of my knowledge
it should not care about line-length (tho I haven't checked its
efficiency in the presence of very long lines).
