+xxdiff is a graphical tool for viewing the differences between two or three
+files, or between two directories, and can produce a merged version thereof.
+
+Some of its features:
+
+ - Comparing two files, three files, or two directories (shallow and
+ recursive)
+ - Horizontal diffs highlighting
+ - Files can be merged interactively and resulting output visualized
+ and saved
+ - Has features to assist in performing merge reviews/policing
+ - Can unmerge CVS conflicts in automatically merged file and display
+ them as two files, to help resolve conflicts
+ - Uses external diff program to compute differences: works with GNU
+ diff, SGI diff and ClearCase's cleardiff, and any other diff whose
+ output is similar to those
+ - Fully customizable with a resource file
+ - Look-and-feel similar to Rudy Wortel's/SGI xdiff; it is desktop
+ agnostic (i.e. will work equally well with KDE or GNOME)
+ - Features and output that ease integration with scripts
