Source Compare (SC): A 'diff' program for Common Lisp

lang/lisp/code/tools/src_cmp/mkant/
Source Compare is a portable tool for comparing Common Lisp source files, similar to the UNIX program 'diff'. Like diff it can ignore case, whitespace, and blank lines. In addition, it can also ignore certain classes of Lisp comments. It uses a greedy algorithm that runs in average-case O(m+n) time.
