[MINC-development] [RFC] [WIP] minc-diff-labels, diff and patch tools for minc label files

[Andrew Janke]

Looks reasonable.

It's sort of for the same purpose (but different), but have you seen this thing?

At times it looks like there is a war going on in the code but it can
apparently compare labels and produce comparison stats. I recall using
it once or twice.
