Thanks, that does indeed seem to take care of the sync behavior,
for `compare-windows-sync-default-function', at least.

The main reason for the bug report, however, is the inability
to choose the two windows, especially when they are in different
frames.  Cycling via `other-window' is limited when you have
multiple frames (each possibly with multiple windows).  It is
even somewhat limited in the typical case of two windows in the
same frame.
