Yes, I agree. I have looked at it for ideas, but not for code. I'm not
using rsync or anything like that, for instance. I'm going for something
very simple to start with.

Essentially what I have is something like this pseudocode:

cvs update
check if there really was an update and if not exit
configure; get config.log
make 2>&1 | make-filter >makelog
make check 2>&1 | check-filter > checklog
(TBD) send config status, make status, check status, logfiles
make distclean

The send piece will probably be a perl script using LWP and talking to a
CGI script.
