perldoc diffs: don't search auto - much faster

Give this a try.  It causes unsuccessful searches to run about
3 times as fast on my machine.  Not exactly a speed demon but
at least you don't have time to get up and make coffee.

I tried adding caching to stop the repeated readdir in the
case-insensitive matching subroutine, but a) it only lopped off
another 20% and b) the patch made a kind of a Frankenstein thing
out of the subroutine, so c) I will try to write a better one
later when I have time.

where $a was 0, which is not guaranteed (and does not occur on at

All looked normal.

Then I did a make and everything also looked normal.
