==== Description: ====
qdiff - binary files differ that can detect binary
insertions/deletions/substitutions with colorful outputs.  

The differences can be printed in various ways, very colorful output
(insertions/deletions/substitutions), simple yet effective syncro engine, may
be very slow, useful and fast for large files with few differences (e.g. 
verifying correctness of grabbed cdda data). 




==== Other Comments: ====
Tarball info is at:
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/file/qdiff-0.8.2.lsm

The problem of the tarball is that it is very old and does not compile on
modern gcc and more. Ref:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.grml.user/1722

I'm going to take of the code and maintain it here at nongnu.org.
