Hmph. Well, I asked the folks at java.apache.org (another open
software project I work on) for their loginfo stuff. Couple of quick
hacks and I got it working to my (low) expections. :-)

So, if you are interested, you can sign up for the BETA cvs commit
announcement mailing list.

To get all CVS commit info emailed to you send a message to
"vanilla-devel@us.netrek.org". No subject or body text is required.
I'll add a web sign-up/sign-off thing later.

All cvs commit info is archived and web viewable at:

http://vanilla.us.netrek.org/devel

You'll have to drill down the year, month tree. I'll make a pretty
front-end later.

To see the format of a cvs commit entry, just like what you will get
via email:

http://vanilla.us.netrek.org/devel/1999/Feb/msg00002.html

I'll add a search engine later. 

I updated the README file for this information. Someone want to update
the main vanilla web page?
