The initial plan was to have the libraries provide human-readable strings
that all clients could print. Stefan Küng said he'd rather want access to the
raw conflict description struct instead, to make up his own way of
presenting this data in TortoiseSVN. So we did that instead.

So yes, svn_wc_conflict_description_t it is, you're on the right track.
You can make up your own way to present the information in a GUI.

IMHO GUI developers should try to go crazy and draw graphs, trees, nodes,
and whatever funky graphics required to illustrate tree conflicts graphically.
We cannot do this in the CLI client (short of outputting .ps files, maybe :)
And the more arty, the better ;)
Have fun!
