Penetration Testing: Scanning tool that will track and report diffs

I'm looking for a scanning tool that I can run on a regular basis which
will: track all results in a database (optional) and report differences
between scan runs (primary functionality I'm looking for).

I started down the road of writing a python wrapper for nmap which used
nmap's XML result output to plug into a MySQL database.  But, I thought
that this has got to be something that a lot of network auditors have a
need for; which is usually a good indication that there may be a tool
that already does it.

Another bit of functionality that I think would be pretty useful is the
ability to 'base-line' a set of systems and then notify when they
deviate from this baseline.

Any suggestions?
