new pats posted - 20080424 (maintenance pats release)

29215 patterns, 11388 right anchor strings, 96499 test IPs.

Some catchup on a backlog, as well as the start of some housekeeping
regarding how I was storing certain (unbeknownst to me at the time)
geographical .pl domains; seems gdansk.pl is a geographical second
level subdomain, not a domain itself, so domains under it are actually
their own domain, not a subdomain of gdansk.pl. Still a few more of
those to clean up.

Was asked to start tracking couplets (pattern class and tech, taken
together as a sort of meta-identifier); there is one new couplet in
this release ('static/lan' for static hosts that appear to be part of
a local area network with public IPs).

Note that from 20080304 on, we will be including patterns for the
'outmx' tech type again, these should be understood as known legitimate
mail server naming conventions for their domain and you may wish to
exclude them from your use of the distro.

I've made sure to exclude outmx and webhost regexes from the exim and
postfix flat file distributions, so we should be safe there.

Those using the DNSBL interface will note that a return value of
127.0.2.11 now denotes an 'outmx'. This should not affect users of
the sendmail package, as I've not integrated support for scoring on
that basis into the package. Users of other DNSBL-aware tools should
modify their software, as we'll be adding a lot more of these in the
coming weeks.
