I was thinking of pinging you again -- thanks for being faster.

Most useful.

Due to my (immense) ignorance I didn't even know that projects can be
reached from project.nongnu.org!

I think it would be nice. If you are sure about some format that
awstat likes just do it; otherwise let me look into it.

It would seem that some projects prefer
  http://www.nongnu.org/project
and others
  http://project.nongnu.org/
with a majority in the first group. In my case I used the first option
due to ignorance (the second is much cleaner); perhaps it can be
extrapolated to others.

Great. Now as soon as I have some time, let's start awstating those logs!

Alex.
