    Didn't know about compare-windows before...  I just tried it, and while
    it's possibly the right tool (after getting used to it), it does seem a
    bit terse

I am not really sure what that means; could you be more specific
about what change you would like?

    Perhaps a wrapper around compare-windows (which would repeatedly invoke
    it and leave a "trail" of overlays to highlight its progress) would be
    useful.

Are you saying you wish it would highlight the matching text that it
finds each time?
