I count four wires being necessary.
Maybe I'm missing something, but unless one gives up the earth ground
connection on a three-wire arrangement, how would one ever obtain the
neutral (which is required at least for an unbalanced load)?
It seems to me that if you are wiring up something from scratch, the
4-wire is a much better solution, GFI or not.
