Too many places to do things, I was thinking of something like
feature.flavour files that override certain pyblosxom variables.

A feature.index (for example in my indexes) could contain things like:

num_entries all
foo bar
etc etc
blog_title My Little Foo Blog :)

Let me think about this, and see how useful can this be.

You know, the more I see tools.Walk, the more I agree to myself that we
shouldn't use it. A better way is to have an entry object of some sort,
pass it some parameters when we instantiate it, and it fills itself up
with entry dicts and have methods like getBody or something so that
plugins can use it, the entry object should also probably know about
it's 'neighbours' like the comments for example. I don't know how that
can happen though. Right now, plugins can't do anything with the
contents. This means changing pyblosxom's architecture, and related
plugins. I need to think about how to get this done.

I have a remove duplicate script in my procmail, so it's okay by me, but
how would you know if someone is or is not in the mailing lists (ok,
this list for now is just you me and Theodore :)
