That's what I mean: to "tell my working copy that I resolved the
conflict", you can ask the kdiff3 devs to provide such a button. They
don't need to link against any Subversion lib for that. Simply deleting
the files Subversion created for the conflict (the *.mine *theirs or
*.rXXXX files) is enough. Subversion then knows that you resolved the
conflict.

I'm sorry, but that's not a good idea. We provide TortoiseMerge for a
reason. There, you have the button to mark the file as resolved. A
"resolved" entry in that dialog (or any other context menu) could be
*very* bad if a user clicks on that entry without even having started
the merge/diff tool to resolve the conflict.
And the progress dialog (the one you see during long operations, like
"update") is the worst place to put such an entry.
