Visual diff survey

I'm using winmerge.  My uses for it are very simple, and naturally so
is my config.  I think pretty much everything is at defaults.  From my
mercurial.ini:

[extdiff]
cmd.winmerge = C:\Program Files\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe
opts.winmerge = /e /x /ub /wl

[tortoisehg]
vdiff = winmerge
vdiffnowin = True
postpull = update

[ui]
username = <deleted>
merge = winmergeu
