What's the current status of cvsweb?

I see that in the README Henner Zeller notes that he's not a perl 
programmer and that he suggests it be rewritten.  Has anyone done this 
yet?  Perhaps in a mod_perl flavor?  I see that FreeBSD maintains a 
slightly improved copy, but having just spent 8 hours of quality time 
with the code trying and failing to add two fairly minor enhancements, 
I'm seeing the need for the rewrite loud and clear.  I'd probably be 
able to put together something mod_perl (with some sanity injected so 
that there's not lots of duplicated code, global variables, lack of 
clear encapsulation of functionality as is the current state) if someone 
else hasn't already done it.  I appreciate that this tool even exists, 
and kudos to Henner for being able to even navigate it! =), but it needs 
some TLC desperately.  Has anyone already fixed this up?
