In addition to HTTP header feilds, it would be handy to assign
rewrite rules according to HTTP status codes. I spend a lot of time
browsing dead/dying websites so I'm always using the Wayback
Machine. I'd like to use this system to process 404 (500, etc.)
error pages through a program/script that adds a link at the top to
look up the URL at the Wayback Machine. It might also check for a
copy I've archived locally, if I get my website archives more
organised, and link to that as well.

I've already got the Wayback Machine set up as a search option
in dillorc which returns the latest archived copy of a URL:
search_url="w Wayback Machine http://web.archive.org/web/%s"

But I use it so much that the ease of just clicking a link would be
a real advantage, especially after opening multiple broken links
from a page. I might even try to write something that detects
archived error pages and works back to the last actual copy of the
page.
