As sent to Mathieu Roy, This is all that needs to be configured by users.
Other things are more for administration purposes, and should be adjusted by
savannah staff if the server load changes.
ciabot.pl %s $USER projectname
if desired, I can turn ALL the parameters into command line parameters, but I
don't think that is nessecary.

That is true, the only thing that should be really configured on a user by
user bases is the project name, I have attached the script with that one
small change. Everything else does not change on a project bases. Most
people who want to use it should be happy with the formatting of the
information. The e-mail do not change either, but if you want, you could
alter them to be another command line parameter.
Please reply if/when this is done, and the command syntax to use it.
Thanks for you work.

PS. I see noexec is working properly :)
