I should have waited overnight <wink/sigh>.  Nothing wrong with the one I
sent, but I couldn't resist going on to add new -r1 / -r2 cmdline options
for recreating the original files from ndiff's output.  That's attached, if
you're game!  Us Windows guys don't usually have a sed sitting around
<wink>.

Attached is a cleaned-up version of ndiff (added useful module
docstring, now echo'ed in case of cmd line mistake); added -q option
to suppress initial file identification lines; + other minor cleanups,
& a slightly faster match engine.

The constructor now takes an optional dictionary.
Use isinstance() where appropriate.

writes a chunk of compressed data, closes it, writes another chunk, and
reads the contents back to verify that they are the same.

allow using the 'a' flag as a mode for opening a GzipFile.  gzip
files, surprisingly enough, can be concatenated and then decompressed;
the effect is to concatenate the two chunks of data.

If we support it on writing, it should also be supported on reading.
This *wasn't* trivial, and required rearranging the code in the
reading path, particularly the _read() method.

Raise IOError instead of RuntimeError in two cases, 'Not a gzipped file'
and 'Unknown compression method'

This change was made long ago but the documentation was never updated.

Unfortunately his code breaks wcgui.py in a way that's not easy
to fix.  I expect that this is a temporary situation --
eventually Sam's changes will be merged back in.
(The changes add a -t option to specify exceptions to the -x

Fix comments about zlib version and URL.

data struct before calling gethostby{name,addr}_r(); (2) ignore the
3/5/6 args determinations made by the configure script and switch on
platform identifiers instead:

AIX, OSF have 3 args
Sun, SGI have 5 args
Linux has 6 args

On all other platforms, undef HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME_R altogether.

Chris Lawrence sent me a broken version; this one is a tad simpler and
more conforming to the standard.
