o forrestbot has a FTP deploy target which supports uploading only files which
differ in content than the uploaded ones. However, since the "Time published"
string probably gets rewritten with different values, this is unlikely to
help much with generated documents. But it should certainly avoid uploading
the image files.
I *think* that the forrestbot uses the timestamp of the source file not
the generated file to detect when a cheange occured.
