Greetings Gilles,

Most of the forward ports that I feel confident to do are 
now at
<http://www.ee.mu.oz.au/staff/lha/patch.forward-ports>
with the list of changes at
<http://www.ee.mu.oz.au/staff/lha/htdig-3.1.6-3.2-ports>.

Could you please apply them? The patches are relative to 
the status at  2002-11-07.

Both  defaults.cc  and  defaults.xml  (in Brian White's 
format) are up-to-date with respect to the new attributes.

The  multimatch_factor  has been cleaned up a bit compared 
with 3.1.6.  It now counts how many "OR" terms a document 
matches.  (For Boolean queries, the result of an "AND" is 
taken to match the average of the two arguments.)  
Currently, it simply multiplies by  multimatch_factor  if 
there is more than one match, but the originally documented 
functionality can be implemented by changing the line 822 
parser.cc (in Parser::parse) from
    dm->score *= multimatch_factor;
to
    dm->score *= pow (multimatch_factor, orMatches - 1.0);
if you really want that exponential growth.

My question was more about the placement within  got_href.
3.2.0 rewrites *before* normalisation, while 3.1.6 rewrites 
*after*.  These are not equivalent, and we can't apply the 
rules twice (or else "htm->html" would become "htm->htmll").
Which one do we break compatibility with?
