After I check out the existing functionality that somehow crept in
without me noticing at all.  Dima Dorfman has pointed me to cfg.pm and
various existing configuration options already :)

I am essentially looking for a way to do this with fine-grained
control, as you suggest.  Say something like:

[plan a]
	committer A wants to get diffs, but only for doc/en_US* files.
	committer B wants to get diffs for everything, except for src/sys/*

Making this work for mailing lists too is really out of my reach for
now, since I can't think of some way to make it happen *AND* allow for
fine-grained control of when to put diffs in the posted message.

I think that playing with the existing CVSROOT for a while and trying
to make something like plan [a] above seems a nice idea.  But I can't
promise I'll have anything working until I read what Dima haspointed
out.  At least, I learned another bit of Perl last night[1] :)

[1] Perl might be on its way out of the base, but I still like it.
