Great. Congratultions, Arik!

I have always felt that the main thing VM-Pcrisis needs is better
documentation. I get the feeling that it was written by a clever MSc
student, and the manual tends to be "theoretical". If you can make
the Vm-Pcrisis manual more readable, I will take care of putting hooks
in the VM manual.

The rule-based system technology that Pcrisis implements is extremely
powerful. In the long run, we probably want to use it for all kinds
of things in VM, including mail filtering, archiving, expiration etc
etc.
