  On a more constructive level, I have written a first
version of the
 program. It's only slightly optimised but appears to be quite fast
 already. It will also print stats at the end which show the potential
 gain as well as the number of bytes read vs. the total number of bytes
 in the potentially identical files (i.e. having the same length).
 Maybe it's clearer now what my intention was.
 You can find it at: 
http://www.homepages.lu/pu/finddups.txt (the
 webserver at vo would not serve finddups.py).
 Everybody, please feel free to try it and to give me your feedback. Of
 course, I would not recommend running it on a production machine yet,
 of course.
 Thanks.

Could you please urgently add this comment, as otherwise this piece of
code could be stolen by some proprietary software company ?
one line to give the program's name and an idea of what it does.
