Yeah I can modify the output to do tables.  If I can find the script, I

The only reason the contact and date are there is because the code for 
removals and additions is basically the same (A or D tells me which one 
it is) and all that info is available in the CVS history file.  The 
problem with HOMEPAGE or DESCRIPTION is that they are version specific 
and there is no way to choose which version to pick in the case where 
more than one version was added at the same time.
