TortoiseHg Visual Diff Context Menu

[behofmann]

Steve,

I will experiment and see if I can manually run the BC3 command you
mentioned.  I assume there isn't any special naming convention for Beyond
Compare 3 as long as what you use is consistent throughout the
Mercurial.ini.  Correct?  I've seen Mercurial.ini examples showing Beyond
Compare 3 as BComp, BC3, and BeyondCompare3.

Thanks,

Brandon
