Hello all, I wonder if you can help me?

Background:
I have two databases (on different machines).
I have a requirement to move to having multiple slaves to do the queries
involved, at the moment we have data on both machines and our apps choose
the machine that has the necessary data to satisfy the specific query.  Our
initial goal was to upload the data to each machine so that they were in
sync and that each machine could satisfy any query that was sent it's way,
but over time (due to lack of 'disk space' / 'administrator laziness' /
'lack of planning on my part' / 'other stuff') the two databases have forked
into separate roles.  

My question is this:
Is there anything out there that will report/resolve the differences between
two databases and I'm not particularly talking about differences in table
structure (a la mysqldiff etc..) but more like reporting on which tables are
identical in 'Rows', 'Data_length', 'Index_length' etc. and which tables
differ in 'Create_time' and 'Update_time' so that I can create a new DB to
use as a master for replication with the confidence of knowing that it has
our most up-to-date data in place.

A famous man once said (of open source stuff) that "If you can think of it
someone has already done it!" - I hope that's true in this case...

I could only find scripts on the web that compare table structures - and not
analysing the state of the data therein..  I don't feel like spending a
several hours writing perl to do this task for me - can anyone help please?

Cheers,

Andrew
