Add ability to select compare tool to use

Add the ability to select which compare tool - LPEX or text - to use within RDp.

The compare to each other always brings up the Text Compare.
1) select two members in an RSE filter
2) the compare with only allows ?each other? this is OK.
3) There should be an option as to which compare engine to run
A: LPEX
B: Text compare
The compare to file knows about the LPEX editor.


Use Case:

Opening for Ashley Furniture.
When coding any source, the ability to compare what you changed and what the original source says is crucial.

    Thank you for submitting this request. We do see value in the proposed feature, however many other requests have garnered more votes, or otherwise clearly represent a higher degree of value to a broader cross-section of customers. Unfortunately, due to the large number of higher priority requests, we do not believe we will realistically deliver this, and do not wish to leave requests in "under consideration" status for an open-ended period of time.

    Accordingly, we are moving your request to rejected status at this time. You are free to resubmit for reconsideration during a later planning cycle, particularly if you are confident that the request will garner more votes.

    Thank you again for taking the time to offer your suggestion.  Much of our product direction reflects feedback such as yours, and your input is always valued even when we're unable to directly incorporate it.
