Seems reasonable.

Technically Bricolage doesn't do anything. It's a set of libraries for a
database storage mechanism with associated web interfaces. All output
code, essentially, needs to be written in perl and tell Bricolage how to
call it.

Publishing the files to some directory hierarchy is trivial. In theory,
you could publish directly to the CVS repository by loading in a new
output module.
