Summary: FileUtils::Verbose.{compare_file,uptodate?} are private in Ruby 1.8.3

Initial Comment:
The methods FileUtils::Verbose.compare_file and FileUtils::Verbose.uptodate? were public in previous Ruby versions.
They (and perhaps more methods) are private in Ruby 1.8.3.

  $ irb
  irb(main):001:0> require 'fileutils'
  => true
  irb(main):002:0> FileUtils.compare_file "README", "NEWS"
  => false
  irb(main):003:0> FileUtils::Verbose.compare_file "README", "NEWS"
  NoMethodError: private method `compare_file' called for FileUtils::Verbose:Module
        from (irb):3

This makes Ruby 1.8.3 non-backwards compatible.
