Re: htdig 4.0 updates

Neal,

I've been reading, with interest, the posts on the blog. I have a few 
of questions so far.

- Is htdig a competitor to Nutch? If not, could you take a few minutes 
to clarify the differences between the two?

- What, if any, modifications to the ranking engine will be made in 4.0 
(saw the note about back-links and anchor texts - what about incoming 
links from other domains)?

- It seems the goal is to create a library that can be included in 
other programs. Will the library include all the code for spidering, 
creating the indexes, and searching or just the database creation 
stuff, or something else...?

- Are there any security considerations that should be addressed at 
this early stage (sanitizing of URL parameters, for example)

I'm not a C developer, but I'm more than happy to try building the 
project on Linux and Mac OS X (10.3). Is there a 4.0 branch in CVS or 
will we have to wait for you to tag it?

Thanks for the work.
