What you are describing is FineToothCog which was built by Michael Jones in 2006 and hosted in partnership with BikePortland.org.
Sadly it is no more. It ran for a couple years and then MJ got busy with real work. This perl script might be helpful as a starting point for what you'd like to do... http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/001440.html On occasion I've thought to either get the code from MJ (he's a friend) or build it anew to provide this valuable service to our town. Let me know if you're interested in hacking on such and maybe we can host a code sprint at the gallery.
