------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
This patch allows you to set fake referrers when fetching initial .torrent 
files from a site dependent on the file's address. An example is included in 
the bTOptions.ml file (which should be removed before adding to cvs. The first 
argument is the standard expression to match against the torrent address. The 
second is the fake referrer address. e.g.
[(".*suprnova.*", "http://www.suprnova.org/";)]

as suprnova files contain
http://66.90.75.92/suprnova//torrents/2645/mame86to87.7z.torrent
                   ^^^^^^^^

WARNING: This is my first attempt at coding ocaml so I may have done silly. 
(but it does seem to work for me)
