   We don't "need" to start vim in a special mode to get that either, but it's   
   faster ad easier. As I said it's just the usual vim with the options you need   
   to do what you want already there. If you prefer to do it the Emacs way you   
   can start vim with one file, load the second and give the commands to start   
   the "diff" mode; I just don't see why you would want to do that.
