Can we run diff from ant to get a report?

What I have been thinking of for a testsuite base involves

an xml comparator (insensitive to formatting, just sensitive to content). 
I wrote one of these for a different testing purpose, I think it would be
easy to use here.

a class examiner that compares the properties of 2 classes to make sure
they are the same.

These would be somewhat more complex than running diff on text files,
however I think it might be worthwhile to avoid sensitivity to formatting
changes.
