Your compare command gives a name clash with ImageMagick's compare command;
why don't you rename yours?

Since there is already a plain file compare program "cmp" which is getopt
compliant, why don't you add the additional features there?

Your distribution is free to choose a different naming for the commands;
but Solaris has picked a different track because from Solaris' point of
view THERE IS NO CONFLICT BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER "compare" PROGRAM.

'nuf said.
