** Generate a report of the differences between files pA and pB.
** If pOut is not NULL then a unified diff is appended there.  It
** is assumed that pOut has already been initialized.  If pOut is
** NULL, then a pointer to an array of integers is returned.  
** The integers come in triples.  For each triple,
** the elements are the number of lines copied, the number of
** lines deleted, and the number of lines inserted.  The vector
** is terminated by a triple of all zeros.
**
** This diff utility does not work on binary files.  If a binary
** file is encountered, 0 is returned and pOut is written with
** text "cannot compute difference between binary files".
**
****************************************************************************
**
** The core algorithm is a variation on the classic Wagner
** minimum edit distance with enhancements to reduce the runtime
** to be almost linear in the common case where the two files
** have a lot in common.  For additional information see
** Eugene W. Myers, "An O(ND) Difference Algorithm And Its
** Variations"
**
** Consider comparing strings A and B.  A=abcabba and B=cbabac
** We construct a "Wagner" matrix W with A along the X axis and 
** B along the Y axis:
**
**     c 6               *
**     a 5               *
**     b 4           * *
**     a 3         *
**     b 2       *
**   B c 1       *
**       0 * * * 
**         0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
**           a b c a b b a
**           A
**
** (Note: we draw this Wagner matrix with the origin at the lower 
** left whereas Myers uses the origin at the upper left.  Otherwise,
** they are the same.)
**
** Let Y be the maximum y value or the number of characters in B.
** 6 in this example.  X is the maximum x value or the number of
** elements in A.  Here 7.
**
** Our goal is to find a path from (0,0) to (X,Y).  The path can
** use horizontal, vertical, or diagonal steps.  A diagonal from
** (x-1,y-1) to (x,y) is only allowed if A[x]==B[y].  A vertical
** steps corresponds to an insertion.  A horizontal step corresponds
** to a deletion.  We want to find the path with the fewest
** horizontal and vertical steps.
**
** Diagonal k consists of all points such that x-y==k.  Diagonal
** zero begins at the origin.  Diagonal 1 begins at (1,0).  
** Diagonal -1 begins at (0,1).  All diagonals move up and to the
** right at 45 degrees.  Diagonal number increase from upper left
** to lower right.
** 
** Myers matrix M is a lower right triangular matrix with indices d
** along the bottom and i vertically:
**
** 
**   i=4 |            +4  \
**     3 |         +3 +2   |
**     2 |      +2 +1  0   |- k values.   k = 2*i-d
**     1 |   +1  0 -1 -2   |
**     0 | 0 -1 -2 -3 -4  /
**       ---------------
**         0  1  2  3  4 = d
**
** Each element of the Myers matrix corresponds to a diagonal.
** The diagonal is k=2*i-d.  The diagonal values are shown
** in the template above.
**
** Each entry in M represents the end-point on a path from (0,0).
** The end-point is on diagonal k.  The value stored in M is
** q=x+y where (x,y) is the terminus of the path.  A path
** to M[d][i] will come through either M[d-1][i-1] or
** though M[d-1][i], whichever holds the largest value of q.
** If both elements hold the same value, the path comes
** through M[d-1][i-1].
**
** The value of d is the number of insertions and deletions
** made so far on the path.  M grows progressively.  So the
** size of the M matrix is proportional to d*d.  For the
** common case where A and B are similar, d will be small
** compared to X and Y so little memory is required.  The
** original Wagner algorithm requires X*Y memory, which for
** larger files (100K lines) is more memory than we have at
** hand.
