Ok.  I didn't know about bzip2.  We haven't cared about cygwin.com so
that wasn't an issue.  I thought that when it was an issue we made a new
log file.

Adding a new field to the combined format would probably break Jason's
statistics reporting software.  But, then, it's been broken since I upgraded
apache to v2 so I guess we could rectify the host thing when we eventually
fix this.

It's fine with me if you want to add this, Ian.  I think we need Jason's
buy-in on this one, though.
