I found something strange while testing this:

This is the final command that is generated now:

    vim -d -c "set hidden diffopt-=hiddenoff diffopt-=closeoff | 4b | only" LOCAL BASE REMOTE MERGED 

Turns out that now colors "kind of work", but not completely:

    - The buffer that is shown by default ("MERGED") contains colors.
    - If you switch to the "LOCAL" buffer (":buffer 1") it also contains colors.
    - *But* if you switch to any of the other buffers ("BASE" with ":buffer 2"
      or "REMOTE" with ":buffer 3"), there are no colors.

For some reason, the command that was generated by my patch to v1, does work (?)
and all buffers contain diff colors:

    vimdiff -c "echo | silent 4b | set hidden | let tmp=bufnr('%') | silent bufdo diffthis | exe 'buffer '.tmp" LOCAL BASE REMOTE MERGED
