Is the following okay with everyone ?..  
  Rob T can implement the patches below, call it 0.8.9, then release it.
  We revert back to a patch-and-vote system.

I've got some feature ideas I might want to play with soon, and the
voting scheme is better suited to deciding which are worthwhile and
which aren't.


BTW, I think we need some tighter error checking in places. When trying
to compile on a NeXT yesterday I finally got the thing to run, checked
a couple of URLs then issued "kill"s to the processes and logged out...

An hour or so later someone found apache running and the error log had 
swallowed 400Mb of diskspace writing the same message over and over 
and over.... Unfortunately I didn't make a mental note of the 
message before nuking the log.
