Currently `compare-windows' displays in the echo area "Mark set"
which is mostly useless. We could overwrite it with more specific
messages, e.g.
Next difference between window1 and window2
Next match between window1 and window2
No more matching points between window1 and window2

We already have a lot of `last-...' variables, so a new variable
for the last selected window makes sense. Then it would be
convenient to compare `(selected-window)' with `last-selected-window'.
