For some value of easy ;-)

What does EWM different from the standard setup of ediff? I suppose
you'd use the primary and secondary edit window for the A and B buffer
and a third one (the compile window maybe) for the H buffer. Is your
primary aim to keep things like the sidebar and top windows alive - that
is to "embed" the ediff windows in the rest of your frame components?

I'm currently using the third argument of `display-buffer' as label (I
call it TAG so far). For `pop-to-buffer' it's the fourth.

In what sense is this different from `select-window'? In some ediff
sense (I didn't look into their code)?

The great problem I see here is that setting up a window for C might
depend on _where_ A and B have been displayed before. Suppose you want
to write a `display-buffer-function' for ediff-C: How would you know
where A and B are displayed? If you can put all in one function (like
`ediff-setup-windows-multiframe-merge') things are fairly simple. But
with separate display functions things get messy. Or do you mean that
`my-display-multi-buffers' itself should track such window dependencies?
