PATCH to add a button to perform a meld on the current file

Here's a dodgy [not that good] patch to perform a GUI comparison on a file. It is dodgy because it assumes cogito is installed, and you want to use meld, and it doesn't remove the temporary files.

Not expecting this to go into main branch, but I find it handy for my own purposes nether-the-less.
