/// This program compares the ABIs of binaries inside two packages.
///
/// For now, the supported package formats are Deb and RPM, but
/// support for other formats would be greatly appreciated.
///
/// The program takes the two packages to compare as well as their
/// associated debug info packages.
///
/// The program extracts the content of the two packages into a
/// temporary directory , looks for the ELF binaries in there,
/// compares their ABIs and emit a report about the changes.
/// As this program uses libpthread to perform several tasks
/// concurrently, here is a coarse grain description of the sequence
/// of actions performed, including where things are done
/// concurrently.
///
/// (steps 1/ and 2/ are performed concurrently.  Then steps 3/ and 4/
/// are performed in sequence)
///
/// 1/ the first package and its ancillary packages (debug info and
/// devel packages) are extracted concurrently.
/// There is one thread per package being extracted.  So if there are
/// 3 thread packages (one package, one debug info package and one
/// devel package), then there are 3 threads to extracts them.  Then
/// when the extracting is done, another thread performs the analysis
/// of th1 extracted content.
///
/// 2/ A similar thing is done for the second package.
///
/// 3/ comparisons are performed concurrently.
///
/// 4/ the reports are then emitted to standard output, always in the same
/// order.
