Provide a script that can track down which optimization pass causes

different code to be produced between two llvm builds that differe slightly.
This is useful in tracking down mis-optimization bugs.

+#!/bin/bash
+#
+#  findoptdiff
+#
+#      This script helps find the optimization difference between two llvm
+#      builds. It is useful when you have a build that is known to work and
+#      one that exhibits an optimization problem. Identifying the difference
+#      between the two builds can lead to discovery of the source of a
+#      mis-optimization.
+#
+#      The script takes two llvm build paths as arguments. These specify the
+#      the two llvm builds to compare. It is generally expected that they
+#      are "close cousins".  That is, they are the same except that the 
+#      second build contains some experimental optimization features that
+#      are suspected of producing a misoptimization.
+#
+#      The script takes two bytecode files, one from each build. They are
+#      presumed to be a compilation of the same program or program fragment
+#      with the only difference being the builds.
+#
+#      The script operates by iteratively applying the optimizations that gccas
+#      and gccld run until there is a difference in the assembly resulting
+#      from the optimization. The difference is then reported with the set of
+#      optimization passes that produce the difference. 
+#
+#      To work around differences in the assembly language format, the script
+#      can also take two filter arguments that post-process the assembly 
+#      so they can be differenced without making false positives for known
+#      differences in the two builds. These filters are optional.
+#
+#   Usage:
+#      findoptdiff llvm1 llvm2 bc1 bc2 filter1 filter2
+#
+#   Where:
+#      llvm1
+#          is the path to the first llvm build dir
+#      llvm2
+#          is the path to the second llvm build dir
+#      bc1
+#          is the bytecode file for the first llvm environment
+#      bc2
+#          is the bytecode file for the second llvm environment
+#      filter1
+#          is an optional filter for filtering the llvm1 generated assembly
+#      filter2
+#          is an optional filter for filtering the llvm2 generated assembly
+#
