dist/check-api-change

#!/bin/sh
#
# simplistic script to check all header files for
# differences. Intended to help detect api changes
# between releases.
#
# it's not pretty or efficient, and inspection of
# the results must be done manually.
#
# it's also not secure (don't run as root)
# or portable. Tested on Linux.
