I guess having worked with the code previously does have some
advantages.

You're right about several things having to be modified. But don't
worry, I already did it and there's a notification log CGI in the
snapshot - mostly cut-and-pasted from the current event log view,
so you have the same filtering mechanisms.

Grab it from http://www.hswn.dk/beta/

If you'd rather not jeopardize your current setup, just run "make" and
then copy these by hand:
  - web/hobbit-notifylog.cgi to ~hobbit/server/bin/
  - web/hobbit-notifylog.sh to ~hobbit/cgi-bin/
  - hobbitd/webfiles/notify* to ~hobbit/server/web/
and update the ~hobbit/data/www/menu/menu_items.js file with the new
entry for the notification log (see hobbitd/wwwfiles/menu/menu_items.js).
