I was asked to create almost the same application by an architectural
office one day, unfortunately this didn't happen.

However I suggest you to think about saving your drawings in CVS, because
AFAIK (AIDKAL - and I don't know a lot) AutoCAD can save it's drawings in
a text format. This way you'd be able to save the complete history of
changes to each drawing, even with comments about each change, while at
the same time not wasting disk space. 

I hadn't the time to test it but I suppose it should work just fine.
