[sorry, I did mean to cc the original message to -hackers but can't type]

I plan to parse the cvs-all messages into an XML log.  The first stage is 
to create an XML template.  This template will be used by any source 
tree which wishes to input data into FreshPorts2.  But for now, we'll 
concentrate on cvs-all from FreeBSD. 

If anyone is interested in giving this a go, we have two tasks: 

1 - define the template.  This sounds pretty straight forward to me.  
Take the fields in the log message, compare it to the data stored in the 
database, and create the XML document template. 

2 - take the cvs-all logs and parse them into the XML format. 

Any takers?
