Hi,

Yesterday I committed the htpurge utility and I now have the htdump 
utility ready, followed shortly by htstat and htload. I have a few 
issues that I'd like to address though.

1) htmerge: I'd like to repurpose htmerge to do exactly that--just 
merge databases. I'd move it to the httools directory since it would 
become just one file. The "cleanup" goes to the htpurge utility, 
which I think makes a bit more sense name-wise. However, this will 
break a *lot* of scripts. Thoughts?

2) htdb naming conflicts: Right now the htdb directory produces 
htstat, htdump, htload, etc. for working with the compressed database 
directly. I'd like to rename these htdb_stat, etc. to match the 
original versions. Does this sound OK?

3) Are there other potential httools that are needed? While I'm 
making them, I might as well keep at it. As it stands, I see six: 
htpurge, htdump, htload, htstat, htmerge, and htnotify. Any holes?

Also, if anyone has any feedback on how to supply URLs to htpurge, 
I'd appreciate it. Currently, I'm thinking it should have a -u switch 
to specify one  or more URLs to delete. I also think that a - switch 
to read the list of URLs from STDIN makes sense. Any other useful 
input mechanisms?

-Geoff
