Thats coincidence. I just today took a look again at kompare and kdiff3

Provide your own IDocument implementation and register it with the
document controller. Check the designer plugin for details.

And btw: I want a special diff-view as well for the VCS integration. My
main goals there are:

- side-by-side view of 2 files and "connection" of diff-hunks, similar
  to eclipse

- 3 way diff+merge support, for merging conflicts

Basically I'd like to have kdiff3 (including an editor area) integrated
into KDevelop4. But that would mean porting it to KDE4 first (and
kompare is unmaintained since quite some time now)
