I'm on iPhone without access to copy from one email to another, but note that Walter at dharmatech.org has developed some awesome sed scripts for working with drupal and associated modules. I'll try to dig up URL, along with his contact info when I get home several hours from now.
I am particularly interested in these topics, and look forward to your report.
Best, Margie

thats a really broad set of use cases. different tools will excel at each. i'd say that hostmaster and drush are very promising for most of these tasks. for moving content around, it seems that 'deploy' is most promising. as an all purpose tool, see capistrano:

. ruby is only required on the source PC, not on all the target servers.

I'm planning on spending a few hours this week trying out various Drupal packaging/site provisioning systems and writing up a report comparing/contrasting them.
Here are the modules I know about in this space:
http://drupal.org/project/patterns: Module/system configurations that can be run at any time
http://drupal.org/project/hostmaster: Bryght's multisite hosting managed site deployment framework, which includes http://drupal.org/project/hosting and http://drupal.org/project/provision
http://drupal.org/project/autopilot: Migrate changes from dev to live
http://drupal.org/project/deploy: Migrate changes from dev to live
http://drupal.org/project/drush: Command-line tool containing a bunch of useful commands such as running cron, downloading modules, etc.
Any others I should be taking a look at?
