from the PRCS docs:
"Normally, diff canonicalizes keyword instances in the files it
compares, removing the keyword values and leaving just the keyword
name. As a result, two different versions of a file that differ only
in their keyword values will compare as equal. The `-k' option causes
diff to compare keyword values as well."
Testing shows that this makes the comparison untolerably slow.
Is this really needed? Maybe we should go back to plain old
#define LYNX_VERSION "2.7"
(The bugfixes-only versions in the repository still have that,
since they are identical to Fote's code.)
Or just put a warning on the page, Jim?
or some more post-processing with sed :)
