What you're looking for is some sort of shell processing
of symlinks like:
filediff_dir1
filediff_dir2
./dir1 -> dir2
./dir2/samefile1
./dir2/samefile2
./dir2/samefile..
./dir2/filediff -> ../filediff_`basename $PWD`
not a chance I'm afraid.
Are symlinks supported on CD? if so are
hardlinks supported, as this would be
more transparent.
