I thought of tripwire, but it seems like setting it up is a fair amount of work for
something that should be a simple command-line. You'd have to set up tripwire on any
machine that you wanted to do this on. Plus, I'm not sure, but is not tripwire limited
to reporting on a list of pre-configured file watches, and basic md5 hash differences?
What I want is a nice, clean, plaintext report that shows what files were added, which
were removed, which changed, etc., everywhere in the system, since the last time I ran
a snapshot.

Take a look at tripwire (tripwire.com), though it is really intended to
see if your system has been broken into; It'll also tell you what
particular system files have changed.
Good question, I'd like to know the answer to this one myself :)
