Yes, I'd like to keep the meld.sf.net address, especially since
it has been around for so long. Maybe just embed the wiki page
into the sf.net one?

Agreed, I've added it to the todo.

Ah, because of toggled->refresh->set_location->choose_vc
How about storing the last chosen vc name in vcview? Then
choose vc can default to that one next time. It might even
be worth persisting in preferences (but no gui for it).

OK, these two go together - the preference was a hack because
of the strange boundary behavior of gtktextview at the eof. Also
c++ (and maybe more languages) insists that the last char in a
file is "\n". As you say though, it should be an opt-in preference.
