Almost Greg.  There are very few people who know each variant of Forth. 
However, you are not the first to wish for a cross reference, and I think much
of it has already been done. Unfortunately, my memory has slipped, but I seem
to remember seeing something like that in the library.  You might check out
R.SCHMELLE's DIARY files.  Number 9 looks like it might have something useful.

Also, I think Glen Haydon's books do a good job of covering many of the
current systems, but again, the title alludes me.  Can anyone out there
remember the title of the book I'm thinking of?
