Hi all --

2 changes in the pipeline that might affect you guys. First of all, I've
changed the behaviour of -refresh. 

Previously, it did a full refresh, fetching all pages regardless of their
"freshness".  It now does not do this; instead it will get all links on
the front page, etc. in the -refresh manner, but it will use a cached page
if it's in the cache.  This has been the subject of countless feature
requests, and is totally intuitive.

For some reason I thought "-refresh -fromcache" would do this -- but of
course it doesn't, instead it just limits sitescooper to using *only* the
cache.  Sorry about that ;)

A new command-line arg, "-fullrefresh", provides the old behaviour.

The second major change is from a patch from Peter Marschall -- he's
pointed out that iSilo uses .pdb as its output extension and sitescooper
uses .prc -- iSilo is more correct (.prc is supposed to be for Palm
applications, not databases).  So I've changed sitescooper to use .pdb 
as well.

This means that any scripts that take sitescooper iSilo-format output
will need to be changed appropriately;  s/\.prc/\.pdb/g   ;)

These changes will be in 3.0.2, when it's released.

Peter -- I need to look over your other changes and integrate them by
hand, but they look OK from here (so far).  One question, about your spec
file -- does that generate FHS-conformant RPMs as you describe? And if so,
what OSes support FHS-conformant RPMs?  I thought the RPM "standard" was a
/usr install...
