"your pyblosxom directory" is the directory where your CGI scripts for 
pyblosxom are.   I'll update the README
for this, it changed when the distutils work got done.

Trackback is not mandatory.   If you don't install trackback.cgi, you 
won't get trackbaks.

You may need to change the value of trackback:ping on line 20 of 
comment-story.html, depending on how trackback.cgi is mapped to a URL.  
What is there now assumes that $base_url/trackback is the URL for 
trackback.cgi.
