Most recent R manuals [Was: Likely disruption to R-devel builds on Windows]

My script is very NEWS specific. ?The manuals would be harder. ?You could
get the diffs from svn pretty easily, but displaying them would be trickier:
?do you display the diffs in the .texi source, or convert to HTML and
display the diffs there, or what? ?How much context around them? ?Not
impossible, but not trivial.

I suspect the best combination of ease and quality of output would be
to output the texi to plain text, and then diff that.   I really like
the existing RNEWS format, but I guess you split the news into
individual entries and only display those with any changes.  It would
be a bit harder to do with general output, although maybe splitting
into paragraphs would be sufficient.
