Hi Nico!

How is it possible to test your code? i'm not familiar with the testing 
scenario we currently have in the kickstarter.

BTW: i have parsed the first TCA file now, and it looks quite promising 
for me so far. guess i will split the array in tca-columns and then 
decide by diff3 behaviour which changes will go into the result.

just for the protocol, here once again the algorithm, guess you will 
make the decisions in your domainmodel-parsing-merger based on that as 
well, right?

there is a base source "B"
there is a source edited by the user "U"
there is a new source which comes from the kickstarter "K"
there is some output source "O"

diff3:
if(U != B && K != B){
	/* conflict: model and source have been edited,
	   what should we do? I think we need to find a convention
	   here, which can be applied to each of the files 	
	   (tca,domainmodel...)
	*/
}else if(U == B){
	// user has not changed anything, use kickstarter source
	O = K;
}else if(K == B){
	// model has not been changed, use users source
	O = U
}
