Ok, I think the sensible compromise is this:

	Somebody hack the CVSROOT scripts to generate a HTML file
	for each commit containing the links into cvsweb to
	show the diffs.  Put a single link to this HTML file
	into the commit email.

All further discussion is of course futile if nobody actually *does*
this bit of work.
