Version 0.3 (06.04.2012) *improved performance by changing whitelist for-loop with an sed-file in the main processing routine *added automatic backing up of original target hosts file *added install-time warning to backup /etc/hosts file *changed install spot to /usr/sbin instead of /usr/bin (requires root to run anyway) *fixed typo in default variables (blacklists to blocklists) *added changelog *updated conf file with whitelist entries to unblock flickr.com and ompldr.org TODO *add command-line tool to interactively examine a given site, provide a list of domains involved in that site (and whether they are blocked or not), and add entries to the blacklist and whitelist accordingly. *fix issue with whitespaces in whitelist entries (disappears in temporary .sed file)

Also, look under /usr/share/hostsblock/hostsblock.conf for an example config file. Existing config files might need to be modified.
