Right.  I think that sounds like a misfeature, and should be fixed.  I
don't really see the point of computing `ediff-actual-diff-options' and
`ediff-actual-diff3-options' in that roundabout fashion.  I think those
variables should be removed and `ediff-diff-options' (etc) should be
used directly.

Probably not for Emacs 24, though.
