Although improved in recent Xcodes, FileMerge has historically been
quite weak. You might try Text Wrangler, BBEdit, or Araxis Merge.
Try this: open a xib in IB, make no changes, do 'save as' somewhere
else. Compare the two files. You'll see lots of differences. Alas,
its best to treat xibs as binary files.
