Yes, this is what I'm trying to do. We get a lot of patches submitted, and 
since I'm using WinMerge anyway, it would make sense to use it if it's 
capable of it.

Seeing as the program is called Win*Merge* and the home page says "Merge 
differences" as one of the features, I wondered if there was something I 
didn't understand in the UI. But maybe it's not implemented.

That would be my next question. ;)
