OK, now I think I understand. It seems to me that the KDiff3 binary packaged with TortoiseHg both is and isn't customized. It isn't, like Steve said, in the sense that no changes are made to the program itself, but it is customized in the sense that it's built differently. Since it takes a lot of work to build, and there's no urgent reason to update it, I understand why the developers have chosen not to do so.
