I don't think that form is used very much, for whatever reason. Perhaps
it is undocumented...

I modified the log format to:

  CustomLog /var/log/apache2/nongnu-projects.log "%v %h %l %u %t \"%r\"
%>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\""

It shouldn't be hard to make awstats do the right thing with that by
telling it which fields are which.

Sounds good. Note that I made a change to the cron script that runs on
nadesico, it will now dump all log files into the same directory but
with names like the following, so as not to overwrite older files:

   nongnu-projects-error.log.20090929

etc.

Thanks,
Ward.
