It compares two directory trees and tells you which files exist in one
or both, and tells you which files are the same in both.  SUSv2
deprecated it and recommended people use "diff -r" instead.  SUSv3
doesn't mention it at all.

Shaun: if you have access to a Tru64 or Solaris system, you can use
their dircmp commands, since they are shell scripts.
