Currently, pacdiff only allows users to diff between the current file
and the new file. However, the merging of files could be automated by
the use of some 3-way merge utility.
Teach pacdiff the (M)erge mode which performs a 3-way merge using a
given $MERGEPROG (`diff3 -m` by default). The base file is taken from
from the second-newest package in the cache.
