I do not know which might be the "preferred tool for [converting cvs logs to html] " but My 
preferred  tool for converting cvs logs to something a human can really use is cvs2cl[1].
Folks have also made dtd, schema, and stylesheets for cvs2cl's xml output, the first example one[2] 
looks OK to me and was apparently generated with a bash script[3].
You'll probably need to download more than I have pointed directly at [2,3] from the home page [1].

     or the python version of it cvs2cl.py that is included in CVSNT (Which IIRC is included in WinCVS)
