Yes, I even had a spider process for optimization that I used to
automatically create/check rewrites against file structure (double checking
current links) developed in perl for a really complex web system with
monthly marketing releases and campaigns.

But you can  easily just use sed/awk/grep to check/change via search/replace
for you 800 line rewrite file.

I have even seen shops that have a project database (Jira Confluence) that
includes the rewrite and all current content that requires a rewrite change,
from which a new rewrite include file with one rewrite per line can be
recreated.

Coupled with Change/Management and standard project development, release
planning can really be s-hexy.
