Yeah, that extension occurred to me also.  Certainly it is a fairly trivial 
change as long as we are sticking to using 2-way diffs, but it would require 
a bit more work to extend this to 3-way diffs sensibly (assuming we'd want 
to).

Configuring a more generic plugin to default to the user's favorite tool is 
dead simple, with the new ALIASES feature.

Hmmm, I wonder how much this overlaps with the extmerge plugin...
