samples/diff/Mmakefile:
Fix a bug: it was passing `-O0' in MGNUCFLAGS, rather than CFLAGS.
This broke things if you tried to pass an mgnuc option such as
`--inline-alloc' in EXTRA_MGNUCFLAGS on the command-line.

Modified files
--------------
samples/diff/Mmakefile:
Minor documentation update.
samples/diff/README:
samples/diff/TODO:
Update stuff that's now done, do a couple of minor wording
changes.
samples/diff/diff.m:
Fix case of identical filenames (which implicitly assumed
no_diff_implies_no_output). Add new match pass, call the
new diff algorithm.
samples/diff/diff_out.m:
Add --cvs-merge-conflict output style. Slight reorganisation
of top-level predicate. Lots of small fixes to use better
syntax (e.g. functional style for integer maths operations).
samples/diff/difftype.m:
Added first_mentioned_positions/3, last_mentioned_positions/3,
add_edit/4.
samples/diff/file.m:
Use io__read_line_as_string.
samples/diff/filter.m:
Minor syntax/wording changes.
samples/diff/options.m:
Update all the newly handled options.
New files
---------
samples/diff/myers.m:
New diff algorithm.
samples/diff/match.m:
New pass to match common lines in the files to be diffed.
Removed file
------------
samples/diff/lcss.m:
Functionality replaced by myers.m.

Modified files
--------------
samples/diff/README:
Info about this new version. Put the existing READMEs in
reverse order, so that they'll be in the most sensible order
for someone reading top-down.
samples/diff/Mmakefile:
Supply more detail about which bit of this program GCC 2.7.2
under Digital Unix 3.2 doesn't compile properly.
samples/diff/diff.m:
Slight reorganisation. Accept options, remove some high
coupling betweem diff__do_diff and lcss.m.
samples/diff/file.m:
Add support for attaching a filename to a file.
samples/diff/lcss.m:
Add more documentation, one slight performance improvement.
lcss__to_diff now works on the reversed LCSS, to avoid going
to the trouble of reversing it.
New files
---------
samples/diff/TODO:
Meaning should be obvious.
samples/diff/diff_out.m:
Replacement for diffs.m (which was never a very good name).
Now contains code to display a diff in lots more output
styles than previously supported.
samples/diff/difftype.m:
Replacement for lcsstype.m. Contains the type of a diff (but
not of an lcss, which is now local to lcss.m, hence the
renaming).
samples/diff/filter.m:
Contains code to filter a diff before being displayed. This
is only required if the user specified that they didn't want
to see part of the diff (e.g. with --ignore-blank-lines).
samples/diff/globals.m:
samples/diff/options.m:
Support for option handling.
Removed files
-------------
samples/diff/diffs.m:
Functionality moved to diff_out.m.
samples/diff/lcsstype.m:
Functionality moved to difftype.m.
Estimated hours taken: 4
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).
samples/diff/README:
Added something which resembles this log message.
samples/diff/Mmakefile:
Turned C optimisation off to get around a gcc 2.7.2 bug.
samples/diff/diff.m:
samples/diff/diffs.m:
samples/diff/file.m:
samples/diff/lcss.m:
samples/diff/lcsstype.m:
Changes detailed above.
Estimated hours taken: 0.5
Rename all the `Mmake' files as `Mmakefile'. This is necessary to
avoid confusion between `Mmake' and `mmake' on case-insensitive file
systems.
