I need to find out the content differences between two
non-consecutive verions of both gcc and gdb.  I have
seen the *.diff files which describe the differences
between the currenect version and the previous version.
Since I am a Software Engineer, I tend to look for 
short-cuts (actully I prefer to call them efficiencies).
Does anyone know of a way to determine the differences
in content between, say, gcc version 2.2.2 and 2.5.7
more efficiently than reading each of the diff files
and trying to determine what the differences are?

Hey, I know it's a long shot, but I thought I'd ask
anyway.

Thanks in advance.

Charlie
