Description: reclaim disk space by linking identical files together
 This is a utility that scans a UNIX directory tree looking for
 pairs of distinct files with identical content. When it finds
 such files, it deletes one file to reclaim its disk space and
 then recreates its path name as a link to the other copy.
 .
 The first version of this program circa 1993 worked by computing
 MD5 hashes of every file, sorting the hashes and then looking
 for duplicates.  This worked, but it was unnecessarily slow. The
 comparison function I use now stops comparing two files as soon
 as it determines their lengths are different, which is a win
 when you have many large files with unique lengths.
