Unfortunately, I am not that expert and know of no one I can volunteer :-(

I don't understand what you mean by "small extension that just modify merges".

I'm going to try the command server (per Steve Barnes' suggestion). If that doesn't work, I'll end up running the merge with the --noninteractive switch and parsing the output for the prompts Mercurial puts up and aborting when they are present.

What I'd really like is more control over Mercurial in non-interactive mode. I'd like to tell Mercurial to answer yes to all questions, answer no to all questions, or just abort if it needs any input. [I've filed a feature request.](http://bz.selenic.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4383)
