Without suggesting that comparing PDFs is necessarily something that Meld should support...
Would there be any interest in some kind of mime-type-based plugin system for comparing non-plain text files? It would be possible - easy, in fact - to provide some hooks for viewing images side-by-side, for extracting text from PDFs, etc. This could even allow for filtering of already comparable text files to e.g., improve diffability of latex files. The downside would be that a plugin system could *dramatically* increase the scope for Meld, possibly beyond what the interface is reasonably designed for. Thoughts?
