I can get web stats for user.domain.com or domain.com/~user if the site visitor
goes to those URLs, but if I set up a user directory as domain.com/user
(without the tilda) then the stats are thrown in with all of the stats for
domain.com.  I know this is because of how the web access logs are stored and
have thought of various ways to rig it to almost do what I want, but all the
automated methods that I have tried have flaws.  It seems to me that there
should be an easy way to filter out individual directory stats from a domain's
web log and provide that to a defined user.  I can do it manually, but I'd like
to have it automated.
