Hi Burkhardt,

Just try to be as consistent as possible with orcallator's data
measurements, so we can use the same orca configuration file
sections.

It should count all of them, unless orcallator.se does it wrong and double
counts the hits, in which case orcallator.se should be changed.

At GeoCities, knowing the real number of hits was an important number to
know, irrespective of the types of hits they are.

That's great!  Looking forward to the contribution.
