Or at least wait to have a stable libmergeant version, which should occur
before mergeant.

No, it's a dedicated application to manage some data we have at work; and
it's built using libmergeant and glade.

Yes, I'll do this ASAP, in the mergeant's HEAD module, and I'll also put
the doc there. This will probably be next week...

I'll also spend a bit of time on the new mergeant to bootstrap it so it's
easier for other people to start working on it.

I'd also like to write a very simple application with libmergeant to show
the basic ideas and how to use it; a kind of lear example.
