Hiding referer spam in AWStats

Inspired by derefspam.pl, and my own issues with referer spam, I’ve hacked together a patch to AWStats(AWStats – Free log file analyzer for advanced statistics (GNU GPL).) which will cause it to ignore referer URLs which match the MT-Blacklist Comment Spam blacklist.

Grab the patch from SourceForge.

(AWStats users might also be interested in my other two patches, which allow it to report RSS readers: Patch 1, Patch 2)
