[PATCH 7/8] mergetools: use the correct tool for Beyond Compare 3 on Windows

From
Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
Date

On Windows the bcompare tool launches a graphical program and does not wait for it to terminate. A separate 'bcomp' tool is provided which will wait for the view to exit so we use this instead.
