I use monit http://www.tildeslash.com/monit . this tool is pretty nice,
and permits to check the proc by ps list, pid and sockets (like the
manager interface) or even do your own plugins. (added to wiki)

me too :) I'm mantaining my own cvs tree with my patches, new additions
and so on... but I think this is the only way.
I think that can be a pain in the **s only if you wanna keep track
of all main CVS changes... I think the main reason to have a own CVS
is to put a stable version (after some tests) and do only bug fixes...
no need to have all new fancy features :)

Matteo.
