Hex diff viewer using alignment algorithms from biology

biodiff is a tool for binary diffing.

The tool is able to show two binary files side by side so that similar places will be at the same position on both sides and bytes missing from one side are padded.

It uses bio-informatics algorithms from the rust-bio library, typically used for DNA sequence alignment, for that. The dialog boxes for configuration are done using the github.com/gyscos/cursive library.
