Hi, I think that Perl LibCVS (http://libcvs.cvshome.org) can help you out with this. Some Perl code would have to be written to format the information the way that you want, but it provides access to the stuff that you need.
I can help you with this code, I think that it might be more broadly useful. The released version on the site and CPAN is getting a bit old, I'm going to make a new release soon, but the HEAD version should pretty much do what you want.
