Umm, every cron job outputs an email of 259K, but when there is a
lockfile, then it decreases to 800 bytes. Rsync gets all the files, even
if there is no change!

Agreed but... diffing all the files that we have might be quite hard for
us -- But I now don't have a better idea...

Umm... If we can keep a track of modified files in a db (a new or updated
FAQ, doc, news, etc...) maybe we could publish only them...
