Please stabilize.

=dev-util/open-vcdiff-0.8.3

Here's a quick run time test if you feel like it:

1. Find any two similar files (file1 and file2).

2. Compute their difference into file3:
vcdiff encode -dictionary file1 -target file2 -delta file3

3. Generate file4 using file1 and file3:
vcdiff decode -dictionary file1 -target file4 -delta file3

4. Compare the sha1sum of file2 and file4; should be identical.

Never mind on this; I'm running into problems with large files.
