I was planning to suggest this but now I'll just give it a +1.  For
people that use one of those editors it is easy to pick.  For those
with a different preference there are a few examples in the config
file.  And finally, if you do still use notepad then you can see the
names of some recommended alternatives.

I thought this was done previously with the three-way merge tool but
now it only has 'kdiff3' and 'internal:*' ?
