Roland made several months ago a good proposal to formalize/automate
tracking of these files.
One way would be to have a script like below that would download new
versions of files and then we could look what changed and commit these.
It would be needed to find what are files from elsewhere, where original
is found and watch when they move.
I wrote a sample script, does that look reasonable?
Then there could be wrapper from cron that I would run weekly/monthly which
would send mail with a diff, I am not sure if to glibc-cvs or directly
to glibc-alpha.
