[SLL] seeking Web-based pager / log file viewer

I need to make some log files available via HTTP, and simply
pointing the Web server at them is not going to work, as I don't
want to send the whole file every time.

The ability to tail a file would be very useful but is not
necessary.  There need not be any interpretation of the content of
the files, so anything that can do this with plain text would be
fine (although highlighting Apache and PostgreSQL logs would be
great).  Access control is not a concern, and I'm not worried
about cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.

Unless I can drastically pare down its functionality, Webmin is
out.

Web searches have turned up mostly junk, and searches of Debian
and Ubuntu repositories have yielded no leads.

Any suggestions?
