For my own HTTP repositories I just wget with a cron job. I presume you're
looking for something a bit more intelligent?

It'd be handy if a Monticello repository could subscribe to another
repository, and that repository could use MCVersionNotification to notify
the downstream repository. Right now it looks like MCVersionNotification
only notifies via mail, but I don't think it'd be too hard (he says not
knowing MC's source at all) to allow one to put arbitrary URLs in the
'notify' file, and MCVersionNotification would do the right thing when it
read 'mailto:foo at bar' or 'sip:foo at bar' or 'http://rss.foo.bar/', or
'mc://foo.bar'.
