I can't think offhand of a more portable tool that could replace "diff
-r -x" here (suggestions, anyone?). Of course one could re-implement
recursive diff in shell or perl, and I will take a stab at it if you
consider it important. Alternatively, one could hardcode the paths that
the test scripts should test, but that would cost more per-test work
that I'd rather avoid.
