I've been looking for a 3-way merge vim plugin, but I don't think there is
one.  Diff mode can do more than two windows, but I'm not sure that it's
really useful for this.  Still, if you find (or write!) one, we should
definitely include it.

If there's demand, Stefan Teleman might add it.  It's currently on the
Companion, but if kdiff3 is good enough, maybe it's worth including QT
in the WOS.
