This is subsumed by

There are lots.  Choose your toolkit:
  -- TkDiff: http://www.accurev.com/free/tkdiff/
  -- Meld (GTK+): http://meld.sourceforge.net/
  -- xxdiff (Qt): http://xxdiff.sourceforge.net/
Using these should just require a quick tweak to your .monotonerc.

I bet it works on these already.  Native windows is a bit trickier,
but not that much trickier; most of our system-specific stuff is
inside the libraries we use, and the libraries have already been
ported...

This is pretty trivial; just SELECT FROM manifest_certs WHERE name =
'tag' AND value = '<user supplied tag name>';, check the signatures,
and either do a checkout on the unique manifest id found, or else
whine that there aren't exactly 1 such certs.

Not sure what the UI should be; tags could be ambiguous with ids in
general...

See above.

Patches to polytony welcome, it's extremely hackable :-)
