New AWstats installer

We've just added a new one-click installer for AWstats.

Many people consider AWstats a better log analyzer than Webalizer, which was the only analyzer we officially supported until now.

Benefits of the AWstats installer over Webalizer include:

• Ability to mount the AWstats app on a subdomain or different domain (so you can put your stats on http://stats.domain.com for instance, which wasn't possible with Webalizer)
• More accurate statistics (AWstats tries to remove all non-human traffic)
• Faster/more robust parsing of logs

If you switch from Webalizer to AWstats you will probably notice a big drop in your statistics. The reason is detailed in the AWstats FAQ but the main reason is that AWstats doesn't count non-human traffic (robots, worms, ...).
