I did a port of Algorithm::Merge for the recent RubyQuiz #64. [
http://www.ruby-talk.org/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/177618 ]
My port had some odd behaviour when running diff3 on a
character-by-character basis, but I wasn't able to confirm if it was a
porting bug or a problem with the original algorithm.  I stopped
working on it when I discovered merge3, which seems to offer better
merging logic anyway, but if anyone is interested in it, I could put
it on rubyforge, I guess.
