   It's a way to execute external scripts and have
   them inspect the request. There will certainly be a
   performance penalty associated with the execution but it
   should be good enough for the casual blogger who wants
   to fight blog spam.

   BTW, at some point in the future I will expose the
   mod_security functionality so that other Apache modules
   can use its services.
