comparing variables in .fm files in FM10

[Craig Ede]

This could work as a compare as well if you save the original file before
the import and then do a file compare with the resulting file after import.
Any changed variables would then be flagged so you could revert or otherwise
alter them.

Create a third, blank FM file with the correct variables set. Import the
variables from that template into each of the two other FM files so that
they are using the same variables.
