[bug-diffutils] bug#22108: diff wrapper script for very large files, low

Hi,

For our current project we faced the following problem;
When trying to compare two large files (2* 4+ Gb) exceeding the RAM of the 
machine, 
the machine would become unresponsive.

To solve this problem we have found a solution that might be worthwhile 
sharing, based around xxhash.

For anyone interested, you can find it here.
