I know exactly what you are talking about...an earlier 
(1999/2000) web copy utility called NetAttache Light and 
NetAttache Pro had this feature that let you specify how 
changes in web pages were displayed on the local copy.

Httrack can't do this 'differencing' stuff, and I don't 
know identify changed files other than by looking at the 
logs (hts-log.txt and new.txt).  If you are handy with 
Perl or another language strong at text-processing you 
could probably get all that info from the log files.
