	made aware of cursor coloring in the emacs state.
	(viper-special-read-and-insert-char): use read-char-exclusive.
	(viper-minibuffer-trim-tail): workaround for fields in minibuffer.

	* viper-init.el (viper-emacs-state-cursor-color): new variable.

	viper-get-saved-cursor-color-in-replace-mode,
	viper-get-saved-cursor-color-in-insert-mode,
	viper-restore-cursor-color): make aware of the cursor color in emacs
	state.
	(viper-get-saved-cursor-color-in-emacs-mode): new function.

	* ediff-diff.el (ediff-ignore-case, ediff-ignore-case-option,
	ediff-ignore-case-option3, ediff-actual-diff-options,
	ediff-actual-diff3-options): new variables to control case sensitivity.
	(ediff-make-diff2-buffer, ediff-setup-fine-diff-regions,
	ediff-setup-diff-regions3): made aware of case-sensitivity.
	(ediff-toggle-ignore-case): new function.
	(ediff-extract-diffs, ediff-extract-diffs3): preserve point in buffers.

	* ediff-help.el (ediff-long-help-message-narrow2,
	ediff-long-help-message-compare2, ediff-long-help-message-compare3,
	ediff-long-help-message-word-mode): add ignore-case command.
	(ediff-help-for-quick-help): add ignore-case command.

	* ediff-merg.el: move provide to the end.

+Finally, Ediff can be told to ignore the case of the letters. This behavior

+Toggle case sensitivity in the diff program. All diffs are recomputed.
+Case sensitivity is controlled by the variables
+@code{ediff-ignore-case-option}, @code{ediff-ignore-case-option3}, and
+@code{ediff-ignore-case}.
+
+The variable @code{ediff-ignore-case-option} specifies the option to pass
+to the diff program for comparing two files or buffers. For GNU
+@code{diff}, this option is @code{"-i"}. The variable
+@code{ediff-ignore-case-option3} specifies the option to pass to the
+@code{diff3} program in order to make it case-insensitive. GNU @code{diff3}
+does not have such an option, so when merging or comparing three files with
+this program, ignoring the letter case is not supported.
+
+The variable @code{ediff-ignore-case} controls whether Ediff starts out by
+ignoring letter case or not. It can be set in @file{.emacs} using
+@code{setq-default}.
