Nitpick: in /bin/sh you should write "$1" instead of $1, because the 
latter does not work when the file name contains shell meta-characters, 
such as spaces or ; < > &.

(Recently at "$WORK" (the name contains spaces, so I have to use quotes) 
I learned that passing ; to a test harness script will cause breakage in 
a lot of places. Not nice when we really need to get the ; to the piece 
of software that is being tested.)

Right, you only wanted a Boolean answer, not a set of differences.
