Yes, VERY VERY interested in the PD diff! Please send or give location
asap! We'd like to try to come up with some scheme to distribute diffs,
but first we need a standard (consistent) diff program that everyone
can run to produce the same results... and it can't be licensed.
No popen/pclose. Main problem is that it is extremely site dependent,
but I guess if we have system() we can have popen() too; they share
exactly the same problems. Still on the list. Note it should be possible
to write popen/pclose using the existing calls (pipe, dup, fdopen,
system, wait); it does not require any special mucking around. So
if you get too impatient you can roll your own.
