kdiff3's homepage is http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net/. kdiff3 is automatically added to the available mergetools if its path is found in the Windows Registry. Be sure to set git config core.autocrlf true kdiff3 seems to follow Windows crlf convention.

It should also apply against git.git's master and shouldn't do any harm to the handling of mergetools on platforms other than Windows It was tested on a Windows with german localization. I'd be interested if the lookup of kdiff3 works on other localizations, too. Handling mergetools that needs an absolute path is a bit hacky. merge_tool is mostly used as an alias but also as the name of an executable. A level of indirection would be nice for handling absolute paths. kdiff3 on Windows doesn't accept '--' on it's commandline. Is '--' really needed on other platforms? I replaced it by the variable KDIFF3SEPARATOR.
