[spam-stopper] A small akismet extension for updating htaccess

[rich boakes]

Further to my thinking aloud [1] about combining 
the "Worst Offenders" hack with automated 
htaccess modification, I bashed out a rough copy 
today [2] and the results have been promising.

Basically when you the user deletes an IP 
address based offender from Akismet they have 
the option of banning that address from 
connecting in future.

I think this potentially saves each server (and 
the Akismet service) from an awful lot of work.
