I have another request, if anyone is going to spend any time on the
extdiff extension.  A lot of good visual diff tools do not support
directory diffs and thus cannot be used by extdiff as it is today.
It would be nice to be able to tell extdiff that a diff tool can only
handle one file at a time, then have it launch the tool in series for
each file it needs to show.
