what I'm referring to is a command-line utility in the tools folder for diffing two radio images
I think it's in the daily source tarballs - for sure it's in the chirp.hg mercurial repo that you'll have when developing ;)

Feel free to improve/extend as you see fit.
One thing I was thinking of doing is to revamp it as a full-on class module so the diffing/conversion functionality can reused/extended/etc, into other progs....

I wouldn't attempt this task without something like it,
and if it didn't exist, I'd start by building it, even if was just
diffing the .img files.
