I'm searching for a tool/strategy to do the following:

I have a lot of text snippets (informations) which are available for creating a document in different variants.
The document has a standard structure - so some parts will always be included for all variants, while others are optional.

My question is how to organize those optional informations, to be able to

have an overview which information is "available"
see which information was already used in the actual variant of my document
store tagging information with those text snippets, because some are interesting for special target audiences

If this all sounds weird to you:

The document I want to create is a curriculum vitae with additional information about the working experience I've made. As I have a lot of very diverse experience, I have collected every information to avoid forgetting anything which might be relevant for a job application.

However, this is too much information, so for each job application I only want to add the really relevant information and so I'd like to

collect all the information snippets separately
tag them for different target groups, so that I can easily get an overview about the experience relevant to the job, I'm applying to and then can add it to my CV and see which information I have already used.

Is there a tool that could help me?
I'm writing my CV etc. with LaTeX and at the beginning I thought I'd be able just to remove certain parts of the text by adding comments, but the source code gets confusing very quickly..

I nearly forgot to mention: I'm working on MacOS X 10.6
