There are indeed differences, but they all appear to be trivial. Looks
like some stuff was moved from rrc_common.c and into raidreconf.c,
specifcally the progress indicator, command line error-checking and user
confirmation. Everything else appears to be simple compatibility changes
for parts of the raidtools that raidreconf relies on. For example,
md-int.h is now md_p.h and md_u.h.

I'm about half way through the tests I want to run, so I should have some
data on how longs are expected to take tomorrow. So far it hasn't been as
slow as I expected.
