# actmerge - merge two active files
#
# usage:
#	actmerge [-s] ign1 ign2 host1 host2 
#
#	-s	- write status on stderr even if no fatal error
#	ign1	- ignore file for host1
#	ign2	- ignore file for host2
#	host1	- 1st active file or host
#	host2	- 2nd active file or host
#
# The merge of two active files are sent to stdout.  The status is
# written to stderr.
