Netstumbler, Kismet, and anything claiming to be a "site survey" tool.

That's not configuration. That's programming. Netstumbler and
Kismet will product log files that can be analyzed by a report
generator.
However, if post processing is not acceptable, then Netstumbler 0.4
has scripting, which can be used to create the rule set:

I'm sorry. Permit me to offer my sincere condolences. Managers have
no time for fun.

Frivolous? Are you really suggesting that war driving is frivolous? I
you read the various war driving blogs and mailing lists, you'll find
numerous people who are trying to turn war driving into a sport. It's
almost like lock picking as a sport in some European countries.
Perhaps war driving in the Olympics in a few years.
I wouldn't worry much about doing coding or programming. This is
called scripting, which looks, smells, acts, and closely resembles
programming, but is allegedly easier.

Not a problem. There's always time enough to do it over again
correctly after you screw it up from inadequate preliminary research.
You're on your way to being featured in a Dilbert cartoon strip.

For Kismet, I suggest you download and obtain a LiveCD distribution
with Kismet included. Boot the LiveCD. No need to reformat or dual
boot the hard disk. I suggest:

Be sure that you wireless card is supported:

I think Netstumbler plus some scripting is probably adequate if all
you want to find are access points. However, Netstumbler will not
identify access points that do not broadcast their SSID and that do
not respond to more than a few probe request. Also, it will not see
clients and bridges. Kismet will see all these but is far more
complex to implement.
