Hi,

I was trying to compare 2 directory trees with ediff-directories like usually.
This time I wanted to use the "-I regexp" option of diff/cmp to exlcude a class 
of trivial changes and run into some problems:

First, trying to pass the option "-I regexp" to diff causes
 Options `-c', `-u', and `-i' are not allowed in `ediff-diff-options'

I can sure work around this by using --ignore-matching-lines=2 instead
but looks like a bug - the option checking does not distinguish -i/-I

The other problem.. I tried to do the same with ediff-cmp-options
 '(ediff-cmp-options '("-I myregexp"))

Unfortunately in my version of the ediff package ediff-cmp-options is used
as 
	     (apply 'call-process ediff-cmp-program nil nil nil
		    (append ediff-cmp-options (list (expand-file-name f1)
						    (expand-file-name f2))))

which fails with above settings. Is there a knwon workaround?

Where should I report this bugs?
