Archaeological notes:
dircmp was listed as legacy in the susv2 standard and removed in susv3
(in deference to diff -r). Rationale:
Although a useful concept, the historical output of this directory
comparison program is not suitable for processing in application
programs. Also, the diff -r command gives equivalent functionality.
Of course, tar was also removed in susv3, in deference to pax. You've
all heard of pax, right?
