It looks like lenny is 2.3.2 code (listed as current on shrubbery.net), 
so I can do diff's when I'm down adding int WAE support to the main 
rancid script.  Central manager configs are retrievable from CLI.  At 
best you could script the command to dump the database to XML on the CM 
file system and then try more dbfile.xml to terminal.   But the admin 
guide notes it's resource intensive to do the export.  At least I'm able 
to grab the acceleration-engine configs and also grab WAAS specific info 
as comment entries.  I'm likely going to have to tweak some of it to 
parse out updating data like session counters, so not ready to dump a 
diff yet.   Also added WCCP info as comments for both the WAEs and Cisco 
IOS, as our shop is using the WCCP rather then in-line for these.   If 
show ip wccp returns not eabled or invalid, etc it skips it like any 
other invalid command for a platform.
