Alvaro has not specified which rank distributions are to be compared with 
which other rank distributions, or what question exactly is being asked. 
However, the -somersd- package, downloadable from SSC, produces confidence 
limits for a wide range of rank statistics, and probably can do whatever 
Alvaro actually wants to do. It comes with a .pdf manual which explains the 
principles behind these statistics.

I hope this helps.
