While there's nothing wrong with your patch, you should already be
able to do this with the --diff command line option. Usage should be
similar:
  meld --diff file1.orig file1.mine --diff file2.orig file2.mine
--diff file3.orig

Does this solve the same problem, or are you angling for something different?
