Summary: undocumented argument in filecmp.cmpfile

Initial Comment:
The filecmp.cmpfiles function is described like 
this:

cmpfiles(dir1, dir2, common[, shallow[, 
use_statcache]]) 

The documentation doesn't point out what 
common is and I haven't been able to figure it out myself.

This is 
on my version of python (2.1 on Windows) and in the latest version.
