[PATCH] fix/enhancements to mirror locator script

    I'd like to submit the following changes to the mirror locator,
    apache-site/dyn/closer.cgi .  The result

     o fixes one problem (newlines being embedded in HREF values if
       there's no contact listed)
     o cleans up the HTML a little
     o adds the ability to include a free-form comment/location

    For that last:  If you change the C2 entry from

http us https://www.c2.net/apache/ webmaster@c2.net

    to

http us https://www.c2.net/apache/ webmaster@c2.net Somewhere-in-NA


    (hard TABs changed to " " for clarity, and spaces in the last field
    to "-"), the closer.cgi script would change its display from

       https://www.c2.net/apache/

    to

       https://www.c2.net/apache/ (Somewhere in NA)

    This would allow us to list a geographical location which might (!)
    be more meaningful than the domain name.  If there's no value in the
    fifth field, the display looks as it does now.

    #ken    :-)}

    ...

    Well, nuts.  I can't include the patch because I can't get a
    #$&^*&@^# cvs diff due to the packet-drops.  I guess I'll send it
    later.  Anybody want to vote on the theory? ;->
