Rmk38: Added git "projects" to GITFNS, plus minor updates to directory/source comparisons (#771)

* SETSTRINGLENGTH.TEDIT: Orphan TEDIT file, no code in lispusers

It will be restored when the code it goes with is moved over from LFG

* COMPAREDIRECTORIES: minor fix

* COMPARESOURCES:  Add IGNORECOMMENTS flag

* GITFNS: Add new "project" capability for multiple clones

The TEDIT file got smashed, so new features are not yet documented.  Should work as before for the Medley project.  If you set up unix variables LOOPS or NOTECARDS to point to their local clones (or just name the clones git-loops or git-notecards as sisters to your MEDLEYDIR), you should be able to do prc loops or prc notecards.

* Update GITFNS.TEDIT

Repaired the Tedit smash

* EDITINTERFACE:  All date comments at the same comment level

* EDITINTERFACE:  Improved date alignment

* GITFNS again:  added cdg and cdw commands

 ## Using releases
 
 There currently are separate releases of medley and maiko; get the latest version of each.
-There (soon) will also be Docker containers with the latest, and a way to try out Medley in the cloud (without installing).
-
 
 ### Getting releases
 
-Get the Maiko release [here](https://github.com/Interlisp/maiko/releases). You'll need the one corresponding to your operating system and processor (for Windows with WSL or Intel Linux, use `linux.x86_64`; for Macs use `darwin.x86_64` for Intel and `darwin.aarch64` for M1.)

-Or, build your own maiko (the binaries `lde` `ldex` and `ldeinit`.) We can build for other OS arch pairs depending on what is available for GitHub actions.

 The medley release comes in two parts, found [here](https://github.com/Interlisp/medley/releases)
 1. The "loadups" (download `medley-`YYMMDD`-loadups.tgz`)
 2. The "runtime" (download `medley-`YYMMDD`-runtime.tgz`)
 
-You don't need the "runtime" if you've cloned this (medley) repo.
+You don't need the "runtime" if you've cloned this (medley) repo, but you'll still need the "loadups" release.

 ```
-but otherwise just click on the link(s) to the parts you need.
