[ale] Best file comparator and difference picker

[Larry Richardson]

I use xxdiff quite often.  It will allow comparisons of directories of 
files, showing which files are different (by color).  Double clicking on 
the file shows a new window with differences (also by color).  I've 
found it very useful.
