I wonder if there's a way to only re-create the logs from the last day
from the cron-job instead of the whole. cvs2cl runs like half an hour
for me locally - but I guess it is no problem on SF, which has direct
access to the cvs repository.

Anyway, I like the idea. Is there something like group crontabs where to
put it? Else, simply put the above into your personal crontab on SF,
directing the output to /home/groups/a/al/alleg/htdocs/changelog.html or
something.
