 The custom code gets loaded early on in menu.pl. First
/bin/mozilla/foo.pl is loaded (which are a bunch of functions), then
the custom_foo.pl, followed by user_costom_foo.pl (if it exists). The
idea being that these custom scripts re-define (and therefore
over-ride) functions in foo.pl. Custom scripts are loaded before any
authentication is done, so you don't want them to actually do work,
just over-ride function definitions in the other scripts. Yes, the
flow is a bit odd.

 We would be happy to. We've changed the scripts somewhat and removed
the unnecessary duplication of bin/mozilla and bin/lynx scripts, and
we've put the custom scripts into their own directory (bin/custom),
but for the most part, the customization is fairly similar. Bring your
question to the lsmb-users or lsmb-devel list, I'm sure someone there
will be able to help you out. We've got plans for a whole slew more
reports, with a lot of near-working code I believe. So, if your report
is something that needed you might have some help building it, but at
the very least you will get some advice on how to do it.

Cheers,
