Before I published Meta-CVS 0.0, I had already renamed a bunch of
files in its own source code.

Since then, I renamed one module which was called diff.lisp
to generic.lisp, because it used to handle wrapping cvs diff,
but then because wrapping diff is not all that different from
wrapping stat and some other things, it was refactored to do
do a wrap job. It would be stupid to keep calling it ``diff''.
