- new applet diff. Rob Sullivan writes:

Here's my attempt at a mini diff applet - it's adapted from the code at
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/diff/, and only supports
unified diffs.

I've busyboxified everything to a reasonable degree, so I think the code is
suitable enough to be included, but there's still a fair bit of cleaning up
to be done.

+ *      The following code uses an algorithm due to Harold Stone, 
+ *      which finds a pair of longest identical subsequences in 
+ *      the two files.
+ *
+ *      The major goal is to generate the match vector J.
+ *      J[i] is the index of the line in file1 corresponding
+ *      to line i file0. J[i] = 0 if there is no
+ *      such line in file1.
+ *
+ *      Lines are hashed so as to work in core. All potential
+ *      matches are located by sorting the lines of each file
+ *      on the hash (called ``value''). In particular, this
+ *      collects the equivalence classes in file1 together.
+ *      Subroutine equiv replaces the value of each line in
+ *      file0 by the index of the first element of its
+ *      matching equivalence in (the reordered) file1.
+ *      To save space equiv squeezes file1 into a single
+ *      array member in which the equivalence classes
+ *      are simply concatenated, except that their first
+ *      members are flagged by changing sign.
+ *
+ *      Next the indices that point into member are unsorted into
+ *      array class according to the original order of file0.
+ *
+ *      The cleverness lies in routine stone. This marches
+ *      through the lines of file0, developing a vector klist
+ *      of "k-candidates". At step i a k-candidate is a matched
+ *      pair of lines x,y (x in file0 y in file1) such that
+ *      there is a common subsequence of length k
+ *      between the first i lines of file0 and the first y
+ *      lines of file1, but there is no such subsequence for
+ *      any smaller y. x is the earliest possible mate to y
+ *      that occurs in such a subsequence.
+ *
+ *      Whenever any of the members of the equivalence class of
+ *      lines in file1 matable to a line in file0 has serial number
+ *      less than the y of some k-candidate, that k-candidate
+ *      with the smallest such y is replaced. The new
+ *      k-candidate is chained (via pred) to the current
+ *      k-1 candidate so that the actual subsequence can
+ *      be recovered. When a member has serial number greater
+ *      that the y of all k-candidates, the klist is extended.
+ *      At the end, the longest subsequence is pulled out
+ *      and placed in the array J by unravel
+ *
+ *      With J in hand, the matches there recorded are
+ *      checked against reality to assure that no spurious
+ *      matches have crept in due to hashing. If they have,
+ *      they are broken, and "jackpot" is recorded--a harmless
+ *      matter except that a true match for a spuriously
+ *      mated line may now be unnecessarily reported as a change.
+ *
+ *      Much of the complexity of the program comes simply
+ *      from trying to minimize core utilization and
+ *      maximize the range of doable problems by dynamically
+ *      allocating what is needed and reusing what is not.
+ *      The core requirements for problems larger than somewhat
+ *      are (in words) 2*length(file0) + length(file1) +
+ *      3*(number of k-candidates installed),  typically about
+ *      6n words for files of length n.
