This already exists at http://anoncvs.estpak.ee/cgi-bin/cgit/ -
there have been other attempts too but this one is still up and running
and converting new commits. If I'm looking for a commit which has broken
something in a known timeframe, often this is my first port of call,
looking through the log there and clicking to see the diff for a commit
is usually a lot quicker than running cvsps (and far quicker than many
other methods).

An anoncvs checkout should be nothing like "hours".. over ADSL it takes
me a touch over 4 minutes to checkout all of src (and unlike git, if I'm
only interested in a certain subdirectory, I can pull that individually..)
