Now I'm with you. Someone out there may be hoping you also...provide a
shell script that runs tkdiff for UNIX systems. Perhaps dynamically
detect the user OS from the browser ID string and use the appropriate
commands. Don't worry about it for now.

But you shouldn't be doing any of this.

I thought the idea would be that you have already setup a
diffing/viewing system like ViewSVN/ViewCVS where the user could simply
click on a link on his browser in your PHP merge screen and see the
differences, instead of launching a tool that works only for the users
machine. If you were to do that it'd have more chances to be accepted in
Mantis as an enhancement (but I'm only guessing).

But you may just want a different, custom Mantis solution for now, so
it's your call. I wish you wrote this in a way that could be reused by
others (ViewSVN autolinkification directly in Mantis). Oh well.

I will I need to cleanup the mess in SCM_Functions.pm.in soon.
