Colin,
 This is with all sincerity and not at all meant to be dismissive: If
you have the time to automate this I think we'll be glad to listen.

Right now a lot of folks are having trouble parsing the version
differences with a purely human parser - and human parsers for regular
expressions and variable-strings are typically much better than
computer-based ones, however, if you've got a solution to this, please
let us know.
