[pLog-svn] resserver usage

 	I don't really have one.  It sort of seems like the owner of 
blog.ch has decided he likes getting free hosting, and so hasn't really 
been interested in talking about money, when he hasn't paid any yet.  I 
guess that is the trouble with setting people up before they pay - I 
haven't had anyone else do this before.
 	If he is willing to pay more, then he can get a dedicated server, 
or at least a virtually dedicated server, so then if his site goes over 
the cpu usage, only his own site gets slow.
 	For this guy, it isn't just resserver, he has his own scripts that 
are pretty heavy, but resserver adds a good bit.
 	I was trying to think about how hard would it be to have lifetype 
edit the .htaccess file directly, and how many people's hosts wouldn't 
work if we did that - probably needs to be a configuration option, and 
defaulted off.  But, then we could do "dynamic" names, but statically 
served.
