$0 binary1 binary2 paths... > diff.diff

Compares the results of two formatter builds.

Runs from current directory, which should be some common ancestor of <paths>.
Binary locations should be absolute.
File copies and intermediate results are written to a temporary directory.
Prints results to stdout (so best to redirect to file, like > diff.diff).
The output is in unified-diff (-u) format.
