/*
 * Calculate the Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) between two datasources.
 * This function is what makes the diff code tick.
 *
 * The LCS algorithm implemented here is based on the approach described
 * by Sun Wu, Udi Manber and Gene Meyers in "An O(NP) Sequence Comparison
 * Algorithm", but has been modified for better performance.
 *
 * Let M and N be the lengths (number of tokens) of the two sources
 * ('files'). The goal is to reach the end of both sources (files) with the
 * minimum number of insertions + deletions. Since there is a known length
 * difference N-M between the files, that is equivalent to just the minimum
 * number of deletions, or equivalently the minimum number of insertions.
 * For symmetry, we use the lesser number - deletions if M<N, insertions if
 * M>N.
 *
 * Let 'k' be the difference in remaining length between the files, i.e.
 * if we're at the beginning of both files, k=N-M, whereas k=0 for the
 * 'end state', at the end of both files. An insertion will increase k by
 * one, while a deletion decreases k by one. If k<0, then insertions are
 * 'free' - we need those to reach the end state k=0 anyway - but deletions
 * are costly: Adding a deletion means that we will have to add an additional
 * insertion later to reach the end state, so it doesn't matter if we count
 * deletions or insertions. Similarly, deletions are free for k>0.
 *
 * Let a 'state' be a given position in each file {pos1, pos2}. An array
 * 'fp' keeps track of the best possible state (largest values of
 * {pos1, pos2}) that can be achieved for a given cost 'p' (# moves away
 * from k=0), as well as a linked list of what matches were used to reach
 * that state. For each new value of p, we find for each value of k the
 * best achievable state for that k - either by doing a costly operation
 * (deletion if k<0) from a state achieved at a lower p, or doing a free
 * operation (insertion if k<0) from a state achieved at the same p -
 * and in both cases advancing past any matching regions found. This is
 * handled by running loops over k in order of descending absolute value.
 *
 * A recent improvement of the algorithm is to ignore tokens that are unique
 * to one file or the other, as those are known from the start to be
 * impossible to match.
