[geeklog-devel] Replacing/Extending Core Functions.

Tom,

Can you suggest how a new plugin API function should work that mimics
this without having to patch Geeklog?

With comment spam becoming a problem, I'd envision that your plugin will
become very popular and I'd like to make its installation as easy as possible.

bye, Dirk
