 Add a new flag for aug_init that makes sure files are only ever modified
 if they have any changes in them. This needs to happen at the level of the
 actual file content, i.e. it needs to be checked that the old and the new
 file content are not the same as strings.

 Maybe this should be the default behavior, anyway; though sometimes it is
 useful to trigger a file rewrite without causing any actual changes to the
 file.
