I wasn't proposing rewriting, it's just i didn't want to tamper with 
scripts written in a language
i'm not familiar with the nuances of.
So I asked what they were written in, since I didn't want to make a 
suggestion
without being able to at least conditionally volunteer to implement it.

In this case, it looks like we would be changing
  BRANCHES=`$CVS status -v gcc/ChangeLog \
               | awk '{print $1;}' \
               | egrep 'gcc-[0-9]+_[0-9]+-branch$'`

to something like
  BRANCHES=`cat gcc/active-branches` \
               | awk '{print $1;}'

(or whatever)
if we were to use a list of active branches.
