Some of the infrastructure for this is already available (and has been
for months):

- a cron job
- a script that polls sources and builds a javascript include:
  http://mercurial.selenic.com/sources.js
- some sources:
  http://mercurial.selenic.com/latest.dat
  http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/latest.dat

What's still needed:
- more sources
- code for the main webpage to use the above javascript

The source format is described here:
