Fred did this in a custom Eval, except it wouldn't return a custom score.
You would call the rule like :

body rulename eval dookie(blah,5)   (Syntax might be a little off, I'm
tired)

and it wouldn't hit unless "blah" hit 5 times. Or something like that. But
then it turned into a huge list of rules. One for 5 w/ a score, 8 w/ bigger,
10+ even bigger. 

I think we abandond it until we could write one rule that would return a
custom score based on count. However JM informed us that this had been a
Perl problem I think. It was a while ago, and its tough to keep track of all
the daily things we cover. I'm lucky I even remembered to wear socks today.
*Checks to make sure* Yup, socks today.
