* Changed variable name from 'list' to 'flist'.
* Replaced "while 1" with "while True".
* Replaced if/elif/elif/elif structure with a shorter and
faster dispatch dictionary that maps attrs to methods.
* Simplified and sped comparison logic by using
ifilter, ifilterfalse, and dict.fromkeys.
* Used True and False rather than 1 and 0.
Simply replace all uses of statcache with os.stat.
Should I add a DeprecationWarning triggered if the use_statcache argument
is supplied, so we can remove it in 2.4?
accidentally wiped out by Ping's patch (which shouldn't have affected
this file at all, had Ping done a cvs update).
This checkin restores Gordon's version, with Fredrik's change merged
back in.
The new filecmp module has an optional argument called use_statcache
which is documented as a true/false value, but used as an tuple index.
This patches replaces the tuple stuff with a good old if- statement,
and also removes a few other tuple pack/unpack constructs (if not
else, this saves a few bytes in the PYC file, and a few microseconds
when using the module ;-).

Here is batch 2, as a big collection of CVS context diffs.
Along with moving comments into docstrings, i've added a
couple of missing docstrings and attempted to make sure more
module docstrings begin with a one-line summary.
I did not add docstrings to the methods in profile.py for
fear of upsetting any careful optimizations there, though
i did move class documentation into class docstrings.
The convention i'm using is to leave credits/version/copyright
type of stuff in # comments, and move the rest of the descriptive
stuff about module usage into module docstrings. Hope this is
okay.
# combo of old cmp, cmpcache and dircmp with redundancies removed
#
# bugs fixed:
# dircmp.dircmp was not ignoring IGNORES
# old stuff could falsely report files as "identical" when contents actually differed
#
# enhancements:
# dircmp has a more straightforward interface
#cmp enhanced by Moshe Zadca
#dircmp enhanced byGordon McMillan
