I have built one that I call Mahout (https://github.com/cbbrowne/mahout) which has the merit of involving just two shell scripts, one of which is an auditing tool (pgcmp).

The notable thing that I have seen "downthread" that it does not attempt to implement is "rollback scripts." I find that "necessity" to be a ruby-on-rails dogma that does not seem to fit what I see people doing.
Where I work, the requirement to have rollback scripts is part of the ITIL requirement for Changes to have a backout procedure.
