Just added one ... also, I've got a 'blackhole list' setup for specific
IPs I've been able to identify for /softwaremap, which is what the search
engines are hitting and seems to be causing the load spikes ... I don't
know if there is a loop in there or what, but msnbot hit something like
252 /softwaremap links today so far, for 87 projects ... and those
softwaremap links have pretty much zero content on them except for a link
to the next level ...
