It's not too difficult to extend this method a little and put the
router configs into a RCS controlled file (or CVS repository), and
get full change logging with RCS's usefulness.
BTW, the method I am assuming involves scripting this - it really isn't
too difficult, I say that because I am not a coder, but I somehow got it
to work :)
