OK... I think I have it installed.  So... now what?  The documentation
makes an awful lot of assumptions.

Basically, I think we want to use a web bug or something similar.  We
have Flash-based banner ads out there, and want to have a "hit" passed
back to us with an identifier for each ad.  We assign a "project id" to
each ad, so if we can just get that, that'll be enough for us to tell
everything else.  We added something to the Flash code that sent a "hit"
back to a virtualhost I created so that a log entry would be generated
with the pid, and I was planning on using some bash scripting to read
out and count pids

Now that I found out about POT, it sounds great, but there's absolutely
no clue about what to do with it!  If I was interested in info about
HTML served up from our server, I can see some info.  But how would a
"hit" from the outside access and pass info to POT?  Once stuff is being
logged, where are the logs, how do I read them, where's the control
panel or whatever to sort it all out?
