Hmm, now you reminded me of my ancient wish.
Perhaps it is not too bad to ship $(sharedir)/git-core/userdiff that
can be read using git_config_from_file() interface, using a very
narrow callback function that understands only diff.*.xfuncname and
diff.*.wordregex and discards everything else, without even
following the include/includeIf stuff? As long as that can be done
safely and without too much overhead, we could get rid of the
hardcoded patterns in userdiff.c::builtin_drivers[] and that would
be wonderful ;-)
