Dennis, thanks for the help.
  In other words, one needs to keep a copy of the old website on a local
disk, generate the entire website in another directory, and compare the
contents of all old files to all new files to find just the
substantively changed ones?
  But all new files have at least one minor change by default, the date
of creation at the bottom of each page.  So a CRC, or size, or binary
comparison will show all files to be different.  One wants a file
comparison tool in which you can mask out this single, trivial,
difference.

  Assuming the file comparison procedure can be made to work, if I set
"reuse RIN's" to Off, added individuals will get new pages, old
individuals that link to them will be changed as well, so that's ok.
Deleted individuals will still have their web pages on the server, but
nothing would link to them. Merged individuals would have to be handled
on a case by case basis, I guess. In some cases, there would be no
problem.
  Any other details that will screw this up?  I realize that after major
surgery, the whole website has to be uploaded, for but for minor tweaks
to a basically stable site, there ought to be some way to shortcut the
process.
