Working a little today i have a init script that do that using the last
stuff on the CVS (IMAGE_RETRIEVAL_TIME)
One thing i miss is a file like LAST_IMAGE_SYNCED_TO with the
system-imager name (omething like /etc/systemimager/IMAGE_SERVER).
I always update my images using a chroot environment so the
IMAGE_RETRIEVAL_TIME is not update with getimage.... but it's with
si-updateimage. (anyway, i hate the names so is anybody found something
better, is really welcomed)

I tried to do something with perl-xmlrpc and it looks easy to
integrate. But i don't know if you want to do it with xmlrpc or other
stuff.
