[support] Site Documentation Module?

[Bob Turner]

The data to be compared (html and javascript) is not on the filesystem, not directly anyway.  Its contained within the Drupal node stored in the mysql database.

My original question remains.  Is there a module to document Drupal configuration so that I may compare one Drupal instance with another?  I need information like what you see on the <admin><module> page that also includes configuration details on each module that has a configuration setting.  Ideally I could generate and save a report today and sometime in the future (when it breaks) generate another report, compare them and see what changed.

The diff program I mentioned is the GNU version of the standard Unix 
tool. It runs on the filesystem and can quickly show all the files that 
differ and where they differ.

Looks like this:

Only in chesswa/drupal: drupal
Only in chesswa/drupal: favicon.ico

Binary files chesswa.bak/drupal/misc/favicon.ico and 
chesswa/drupal/misc/favicon.ico differ

If those are identical, then that leaves your databases. I suppose 
there's a point to the quickdiff site, but I don't see it.
