I have an ad system, but as with most things I have the reason I have
not attached it is lack of users paying attention when I say "no
support, as is". 8-)

It is comprised of three tables:

	ads		The ads themselves
	ads_log		The log table for hits and clicks
	ads_summary	The log summary which allows purge of ads_log

A UI section:

/c/newsite# dir pages/admin/ads
total 20
-rw-rw----    1 foo      foo          2270 Jul 21 20:43 account.html
-rw-rw----    1 foo      foo          3114 Jul 21 20:43 daily.html
-rw-rw----    1 foo      foo          2053 Jul 21 20:43 index.html
-rw-rw----    1 foo      foo          3493 Jul 21 20:43 monthly.html
-rw-rw----    1 foo      foo          1493 Jul 21 20:43 new.html

A usertag to deliver the <IMG ...> (and/or IFRAME or whatever)...

And finally a CGI program which delivers the ad and logs it for other
non-IC sites.

If someone will commit to packaging it with docs, I will send it out.
