While on the topic of adding possible mod_rewrite-like features to mathopd, a command that would restrict access to referrers that were either blank or matched the host would be really useful. In other words, you could specify a directory that couldn't be linked by an outside website. Mod_rewrite is extensively used on big sites because of all the leeches out there that would love to steal your bandwidth. I'm thinking a command inside a Control statement that says something like "RefererRestriction On".
