I'm not sure if it'll be of any use on sourceware/gcc or inside
Cygnus, but I'll attach the script and an example config files (the
(path)names have all been changed to protect the guilty).  You drop
a call to it in your CVSROOT/commitinfo file like this:

ALL    $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/cvs-acl.pl

It will be run in addition to other directory-specific entries you
might have in there (e.g. commit-prep).  It will look for the
cvs-acl.conf file in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT unless you tell it to look
elsewhere via a command line option.

If there's enough interest, I could write some real documentation
(in the form of the much-beloved README file) and put a tar file
somewhere, but I kind of suspect there isn't.  ;-)

PS-  Yes, I know my perl is not so great.

PPS- Despite being a pretty newish script, I've tested it quite a
lot.  I'd be surprised if you found any problems while trying to
use it.
