That looks pretty cool. It looks like a bunch of that logic could be
abstracted out from being kompare-specific and be useful for a more
generic plugin.

So instead of needing a
kompare/xdiff/fldiff/xxdiff/tkdiff/kdiff3/mgdiff/meld/etc. plugin, we
could just have a "guidiff" plugin which knows about all of the above
and can be configured to use the user's favourite.
