There is the eGoverenment project in Norway, they use a tool to
monitor all their regional government web sites to give a report
(though based on WCAG 1.0).
www.egovmon.no
I have no idea if it is up to par, quality wise, with the other
software you mentioned, but I know the people behind it are smart and
moving forward, so it might be worth it to give it, at least, a
glance.
Thanks
