Send unified diffs against HEAD to this list.  See the project page for
more details about CVS access.

I'm not 100% sure I follow, but I think the output options of CVSweb
should be generalized even more than that, perhaps by providing a
XML-RPC interface or something; then it'd be easier to write various
client apps.  Trying to add many different output options to the current
codebase would probably be just too messy.
