I was also inspired by difftools when I implemented --using, and I
always envisioned supporting full-tree diffing as well.  I would
recommend making these changes in the core.  Perhaps recursive diffing
could be indicated in the --using format, e.g. "bzr diff --using
'kdediff @recursive @old_path @new_path'"

It doesn't seem so.  Tools that can perform merges aren't the same as
tools that do diffs.  For more info on that module, see its merge
proposal:
