I think we can make this work like `query-pr-summary.cgi' and stuff it
under www/en/cgi as `status-report.cgi'. Then the www/en/news/status
pages would include a simple link in their stardard footer, as generated
by report.xsl, and we're done :-)

Make sure you are checking out of the right repository (i.e. your
CVSROOT is set correctly):
% setenv CVSROOT ':ext:julian@dcvs.freebsd.org:/home/dcvs'
That should work much like /home/ncvs does for src/ stuff.

freebsd-www is the right place :-)

If nobody else beats me to it, I'll try to post something when I get to
work tomorrow morning (Wed 19/01/2004). It's too late for real work(TM)
here; writing Perl would very likely have disastrous results :-)
