Command Line Tool and Library To Eliminate Duplicates and Facilitate Intelligent Merging of Data Structures.

Warning: Be extremely cautious when using this tool. You could potentially delete a file that your operating system needs to run. Please do not just run this on the root level of your hard drive with --delete. First run a report, look at it, and then decide what to delete based on that report, perhaps on a directory by directory basis.
