I'm going to answer my own question because I just stumbled upon the
CustomerSyncService<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201306/CustomerSyncService>
that
seems to have been made for just the sort of thing I'm trying to do. I
guess the idea here is to start with a complete account fleshed out in
local data as of a certain DateTime and then poll for changes as of the
last time you polled for changes. I'm going to work this into my account
syncing workflow and see how it goes.
Now, can I give myself points for answering my own question :)
