DJ: If you have lots of disk and some time you could probably get
pretty close to what you are after by mirroring the Gimp Registry
site with something like HTTrack (WinHTTrack if Windows), copying
your local installed versions to a parallel structure to however
you grab them with HTTrack and then using a folder/file
comparison program like KDiff3 or WinMerge to check for changes.

HTTrack can be configured to only download changes to previous
mirroring so you could rerun periodically (say) monthly.
