Would we someday want to support internal url's at different companies?
Perhaps a Sun-internal URL and an Intel-internal URL?   (Though that
assumes they both have internal URL's for the same data - which they
could if Intel was one of the partners Sun grants bug db access to - I
don't know if they are or not.)

Would it be over-engineering to make the syntax be something like:
        INTERNAL_URL(domain)=url

So you could have:
INTERNAL_URL(russia.sun.com)=http://monaco.russia.sun.com/
INTERNAL_URL(sun.com)=http://monaco.sfbay.sun.com/
INTERNAL_URL(storagetek.com)=http://monaco.sfbay.sun.com/
INTERNAL_URL(sun-partner.com)=http://our-copy-of-suns-bugs.sun-partner.com/

Technically bugster is only the GUI client to the bugtraq database, but
most people use the term for both.

In X, the external system we use most is the bugzilla installation at
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/ - which is also used by projects integrated
into GNOME (like D-Bus) & ON (like HAL).

In your syntax, I believe it would be:

#
# This is the bugzilla instance on freedesktop.org, used by X.Org and a variety
# of open source desktop modules shared by multiple desktops.
#
PREFIX=fdo
INFO=http://bugs.freedesktop.org/
URL=http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=\\1
SWAN_URL=
REGEX=\\([0-9]\\{1\,6\\}\\)
contact=sitewrangl...@lists.freedesktop.org
