gedcom diff

Has anyone come up with code that can diff two .ged files? I have two
large files with data missing from each (two sides of the family). All the
tools I have looked at seem to use soundex to find matches and my test
merge has not gone well (I just used the paf5 match/merge).

I was thinking if I wrote code where I would give it a reference person
from each file "these two are the same", the code could build a tree from
there and then compare the trees not the names themselves to tell me which
nodes were missing. I am still not sure how I would handle multiple
spouses, and multiple parents and such.... but I have been mulling it
around for a while.

Thought I would see if anyone had built anything along these lines.
