Q - cvs2cl.pl v-2.38

Not so much a bug, but rather a suggestion (I didn't know who else to mail
this to - no other email mentioned on website).

We have a great deal of CVS files with multi-line Commit-Comments akin to,

 + new feature BLAH added
 + source stripped from FOO
 + user FREAK accounted for

etc.

some start with '+', some with '-' others with '*' and yet more with
nothing but new sentences.

Here's my question, if I run cvs2cl.pl on what's noted above I get ONE
paragraph with all the '+' jumbled inside something akin to

        * AUTHORS, TODO, dict_admin.cgi, dict_create.pl, dict_header.pl,
        dict_lib.pl, dict_main.cgi: + Added reconfirm password change (for
        admin) + Added hidden/setting attributes + Extracted all the embed
        files to _header + Added ability to create db.tables by a different
        user (if need be) + Corrected dict_main typos in

Not very readable -- it would be best if it was something like this instead,

        * AUTHORS, TODO, dict_admin.cgi, dict_create.pl, dict_header.pl,
          dict_lib.pl, dict_main.cgi:
          + Added reconfirm password change (for admin)
          + Added hidden/setting attributes
          + Extracted all the embed files to _header
          + Added ability to create db.tables by a different user (if
            need be)
          + Corrected dict_main typos in

Note continuation of line starts under first letter of line (ie. below 'A'
not below '*' or '+' to give a flowing feel to it).

Would you entertain adding a flag to "beautify" output ?

Many Thanks for your response in advance..
