hmm cvs allows to delta out changes between arbitrary revisions of a file or 
simply use cvsweb to get the needed diffs. delta out means you can say give e 
changes between 1.12 and 1.14 but not 1.13 and stuff like that, requesting 
diffs should also be possible through commandline cvs (RTFM man cvs ;).
