To throw my two cents in here, I'd like etc-update to use vimdiff,
which is another front-end to diff, and much more intuitive to me.
However, doing so would probably enrage emacs users, who, presumably,
have a front-end to diff from emacs as well; so maybe an option for
vimdiff or emacs-diff -- I bet either would be better than the current
script.
