Hi Andrew: One of my recent posts to PLplot-devel included a rudimentary but still useful CMake-based build system for ndiff. I have now (revision 12250) made that available in external/ndiff along with instructions on how to use it. I encourage you to expand that build system if you have additional needs (e.g., installation which should take basically 10 minutes to add).
I often wondered why nobody packaged ndiff for Debian, but I suspect the problem is lack of installation relocatability for the current aged and bit-rotted build system. I think you get installation relocability automatically with the new CMake-based build system (using the DESTDIR variable in the make command) so if you happened to be interested in packaging ndiff for Debian, this CMake-based build system would be a useful first step toward that goal.
