#cmptree: compare directory trees recursively and report the differences.
#this script from: http://www.drdobbs.com/the-shell-corner-cmptree/199103123
#written by Ives Aerts, February 2001.
#Executing the following: cmptree /tmp/dir1 /tmp/dir2
#performs a valid search, but executing: cmptree linkdir1 linkdir2
#displays a "different link targets" message.
