Based on a patch from MAINTAINER, sent privately.
Changes:
- DESCR should contain a short description, not manual.
- style nits.
No changelong available. Recursive diff to previous version shows some build
fixes, documentation updates and user authentication support(?).

Updated to version 1.12 by Duncan McEwan and tidied up by me.
The FHist package contains 3 utilities, a file history tool ``fhist'',
a file comparison tool ``fcomp'', and a file merging tool ``fmerge'.
All three are bundled together, because they all use the same algorithm.
fhist
Keeps track of versions of a file. It works correctly when given
binary files as input. See fhist(1) for more information.
fcomp
Compares two versions of a file, usually line-for- line textual
comparison. It is capable of comparing two binary files byte-for-byte.
See fcomp(1) for more information.
fmerge
Merges together edits from two descendants of a file. See fmerge(1)
for more information.
The history tool presented here, fhist, is a minimal history tool.
It provides no locking or branching. This can be useful in contexts
where the configuration management or change control be being
provided by some other tool.
