Oooh, pretty, but it got one of my paragraph breaks wrong, and it issued 
warnings for the references, and it didn't mark differences between 
references.  Still, far quicker than my hack I ended up using for this 
particular occasion:

running 
wdiff --start-delete='\sout{' --end-delete='}' \
--start-insert='\underline{' --end-insert='}' file1 file2 > file3
adding 
\usepackage{ulem}
\let\underline\uline
to the start, and manually fixing up a few of the references, and a bunch 
more stuff.  Messy, but it worked.

And here I thought it was the fear of robotic Japanese dogs.
