I do not have time to look at this closely, but it sounds to me like you 
need a two-stage approach:

setup_diff_options(&options);
[... set defaults ...]
handle_cmdline_arguments(&options);
[... possibly check if the user overrode some defaults ...]

I think that the unified option parsing is the right approach.

Ciao,
