Emergency-dialog options

Hi,

we have two 2.4 milestoned bugs:
#11253 - requesting option of opening both side by side.
#4658 - requesting option of running comparison between original and emergency copy

No one is actually sure about the best way how to fix the dialog.
I see these options: 
a) fix #11253 only
b) fix #4658 only
c) offer both ways in the dialog
d) do #4658, but show only the resulting difference without visually opening
   original and emergency.
Or perhaps different scenario.

I think that the only sane thing to do after opening both is to run comparison
and check. Also once both emergency and original are loaded you can't as easily
remove the emergency or replace the orignal. So I tend to choose the option d).
What others think?

Pavel
