Not easily, no. Meld's folder comparison logic builds its comparison
directly to a GtkTreeModel, which is our data model for the widget
rendering. You *could* use that as your object representation for
building HTML pages, but I don't think it would be straightforward.
There's no "library" separation of the tree building; it's part of the
DirDiff GtkWidget.
