Hmmm interesting... Not really sure if that covers all the possible
places a merge is initiated, but still insteresting.

Do you still see this as a requirement?

Do you have any response to the arguments I raised about how people use
merge tools?

CVSNT certainly already has an alternative 'diff' mechanism used
(optionally) to create the deltas for binary files (-kB), and I can see
it as a relatively painless proposition to add '-kE' to use an
extensible method if this is still relavent.
