Or would it be sufficient for Fossil to merely retain the three input  
files to the merge using some suffix when there is a conflict:

      problem.c~BASE
      problem.c~OTHER
      problem.c~THIS

Fossil would still writes its output (contain the <<<<<<< CONFLICT  
marks that people don't like) but the user would be able to manually  
invoke whatever graphical 3-way merging tool they want.
