General cleanup and bug fix for diff. Features of this diff:
- Changed indenting so it more closely matches the
coding standard.
- Bug fix which was causing it to bomb out if the two
files were identical.
- Update to use unique arrays (array.m).

His description of the changes:
The major changes I made were
* Moved code for manipulating and displaying diffs to a separate
module called diffs.m (and changed their calls in diff.m). The type
'lcss,' needed both by the rest of lcss.m and by diffs.m, was moved
to a new module lcsstype.m.
* Made lcss.m independent of files, and allowed it to process any kind
of list by adding polymorphism. (The file processing calls have
been moved to diff.m.)
* Added type synonyms 'pos' and 'segment' in diffs.m to clarify the
types. Renamed 'single_diff' to 'edit'.
* Added end-of-file match to the generated lcss, thereby allowing the
to_diff predicate to be simplified considerably.
* Numbered lists from 0 internally in the lcss-algorithm. This made
to_diff simpler still, but also forced changes in the diff-printing
part.
* Removed the swapping in find_lcss, because it doesn't seem to help.
* The array(string) representing a file in file.m was also renumbered
to begin with 0.
* Added and corrected comments.
Have fun,
