I should have waited overnight <wink/sigh>. Nothing wrong with the one I
sent, but I couldn't resist going on to add new -r1 / -r2 cmdline options
for recreating the original files from ndiff's output. That's attached, if
you're game! Us Windows guys don't usually have a sed sitting around
<wink>.
Attached is a cleaned-up version of ndiff (added useful module
docstring, now echo'ed in case of cmd line mistake); added -q option
to suppress initial file identification lines; + other minor cleanups,
& a slightly faster match engine.

the NEWS file of Python 1.5.2a2 inspired me to look at
Tools/scripts/untabify.py. I wonder why it accepts a -t argument
but ignores it. The following patch tries to make it somewhat useful
(i.e., to override the tabsize=8 setting). Is that agreeable?

.mirrorinfo. Fix by me to call string.lstrip(filename) to cope with a
bug in strop.strip() in Python 1.4. Additionally, I changed all print
statements that print filenames etc. to put them in backquotes so that
it will be more obvious when there's a funny character on one of them
(such as a space...).
