Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that I managed to get it to work with your 
instructions, but with some modifications. In the line 616 of 
viewcvs.py, I had to specifiy the full path to get to the sed binary, 
even though it is in the PATH, and I din't have to remove the extra '-' 
or the '--language=html'. Now it works! :)
Thanks for the instructions,
D.
