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.
