I had the same problem when I create Vim syntax files.

I have a list of "words" and I need to compare those against all the words
in my Vim syntax file.  So when the product I wrote the syntax file for
comes out with a new version, there is typically more "keywords" which need
to be added to the syntax file.

I have a process which creates 1 file with all the keywords for the new
version.  Now I need to merge that with my existing Vim syntax file.

I want to see any combination of:
1.  All words missing.
2.  All words in both (not missing).
3.  Can also do the same linewise, rather than wordwise.

So I wrote a plugin to do it:

WhatMissing.vim - Shows what is missing between 2 buffers
http://vim.sourceforge.net/script.php?script_id=1108

It has a menu to help with the choices and getting started.

Enjoy.
David
