Merging is a pain, and doing it with conflict markers is just cruel. We should include a pre-configured merge tool. Someone said there are KDiff3 binaries for Windows, so I might go with that. I find KDiff3 to be quite pleasant to use on Linux.
Huh, I love merge markers... you really prefer a graphical tool?
Yeah, I do. It's pretty easy to configure your preference in your hgrc/Mercurial.ini anyway, I just think we should be providing a graphical tool by default.

I pushed a change to install and include KDiff3:

Needs some testing, but I think it's good.
