Compare ePubs??

After a search on this ropic and finding only "dead" threads (sorry if I skipped a "live" one), I am posting a WISH SOFTWARE with a

WISH LIST OF FEATURES:
  1. Pick some.epub and other.epub, which you know to be the SAME BOOK, although with different <file name>/<file size> (the last defeats all the file comparison tools I have tried)
  2. Show comparison window of both internal files (see folder comparison tools for the kind of display I have in mind).
  3. Allow compare <selected file left | selected file right> (default: same extension, i.e: .ncx, or like extension, i.e., .html to .xhtml) with file comparison tool (ExamDiff, WinMerge ...) -- ideally internally, but SendTo external tool would be great.
    1. Very Advanced: Compare both files stripped of <tags>: raw text option.
    2. More Advanced Still: Pick <several files left | several files right> (which you suspect to be, i.e.: Chapter One differently split), merge into <temp xhtml left | temp xthml right> and file-compare.
  4. Allow to save .diff/.proyect file on exit.

Maybe I am asking for the moon on a platter but ... all these separated features are avaible as single open source libraries!!

So, NEEDED programmer who would undertake to link them toghether in a GUI ...
