Bug Description

It would be cool to have equivalent of diff '-b' option in diff to hide withespace differences.
A checkbox like 'complete' would be just fine.

ATM QBzr uses diff implementation from bzrlib. So it's better to have this functionality in bzr core first.

summary: - qdiff should be able to ignore withespace

bzr has '--diff-options' option to be able to ignore whitespace with '--diff-options="-b"'.
Maybe just add this option to pass it to bzrlib diff implementation in QBzr and bzr-gtk

--diff-options is used to invoke *external* diff utility. QBzr is using internal diff implementation.

Alexandre: you can configure external GUI diff application via `bzr qconfig` command and use your favorite program from QBzr dialogs.

I don't know how to do that but for the QBzr part, it is a dupplicate of #642000 solved in QBzr 0.21b1
