Updated to work with new command line argument ordering.

Note that command line syntax has totally changed as a result.
See comments for more details.

-# If you want to pass different arguments to the two instances of m5,
-# you can embed them in the simulator arguments like this:
+# Script arguments are handled uniformly as follows:
+# - If the argument does not contain a '|' character, it is appended
+#   to both command lines.
+# - If the argument has a '|' character in it, the text on either side
+#   of the '|' is appended to the respective command lines.  Note that
+#   you'll have to quote the arg or escape the '|' with a backslash
+#   so that the shell doesn't think you're doing a pipe.
 #
-# % tracediff "m5.opt --option1" "m5.opt --option2" [common args]
+# For example:
+#
+# % tracediff m5.opt --opt1 "--opt2|--opt3" --opt4
+# would compare these two runs:
+# m5.opt --opt1 --opt2 --opt4
+# m5.opt --opt1 --opt3 --opt4
+#
+# If you want to compare two different simulator binaries, put a '|'
+# in the first script argument ("path1/m5.opt|path2/m5.opt").  If you
+# want to add arguments to one run only, just put a '|' in with text
+# only on one side ("--onlyOn1|").  You can do this with multiple
+# arguments together too ("|-a -b -c" adds three args to the second
+# run only).
