  "*Function called to set up windows.
Ediff provides a choice of two functions: `ediff-setup-windows-plain', for
doing everything in one frame, and `ediff-setup-windows-multiframe',
which sets the control panel in a separate frame.  Also, if the latter
function detects that one of the buffers A/B is seen in some other frame,
it will try to keep that buffer in that frame.

If you don't like the two functions provided---write your own one.
The basic guidelines:
    1. It should leave the control buffer current and the control window
       selected.
    2. It should set `ediff-window-A', `ediff-window-B', `ediff-window-C',
       and `ediff-control-window' to contain window objects that display
       the corresponding buffers.
    3. It should accept the following arguments:
       buffer-A, buffer-B, buffer-C, control-buffer
       Buffer C may not be used in jobs that compare only two buffers.
If you plan to do something fancy, take a close look at how the two
provided functions are written."
