Anyway, the only point I'm trying to make is that "OK = 0" is useless
as a status message, because it could mean anything:

1) The diff command completed succesfully (exit status 0 in a shell
command sense). There may or may not be differences.

2) The diff command failed (0 is false in a C sense).

3) There were no differences (the GNU diff exit status convention).


Something like "...done" or "...failed" would be a lot clearer IMO.
I supposed I should either just change it myself or forget about it.
