Remote diff utility

Its a toolkit similar to http://zidrav.sourceforge.net/
(or http://shelwien.googlepages.com/patch_v1.rar)
but supports any file modifications, not only blocks broken in place.

The main purpose is to recover a (large) broken remote file
using the local copy, but without downloading/uploading whole files.

In fact, there're some similar tools available, like
http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/....3.3-win32.zip
or MS RDC even (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...48(VS.85).aspx)
but hopefully the new toolkit has better performance, as its based
on independent research and different algorithms (so no adler32 and
hashtables).

So I'd appreciate if somebody could evaluate it, and maybe compare
to alternatives.

Here's another package
http://shelwien.googlepages.com/fma-diff_v0_demo.rar

Now with a demo of 2-level patching, where a hashfile
patch is transferred with the same method, instead
of the complete hashfile.

Also there's a rdiff executable, its easier to compare with than rdiff-backup.

rdiff signature = fma-hash
rdiff delta = fma-diff
rdiff patch = fma-patch
