Ok, so not so simple. =)

I'm not familiar with the layout of PCH's data (I did find some .gz files,
so I presume that's the data that's gathered on a daily basis), but if I
was, I would have to take the divide-and-conquer approach for a certain AS
to find out when a block was first announced.  

I'm guessing that I would have to do the hard work.  Perhaps Renesys is
already doing this? (but for a fee).

Regards,

Frank

By that, I mean that they could be run daily, and specific results emailed
to people who were interested in following the allocation patterns for
specific organizations, any time there was a match.
