I've got the scripts. Both an unfactorizer that turns 80% of bigevil
rules into a list of domains, a program that can take a list of
domains and convert it into a new factored set of regexps. (It does a
better job than the manual bigevil factorization so it matches about
twice as fast.) And I have a quicky from Chris Theilen that converts a
list of regexps back into SA rules.

For the most part, feed a list of domains in, and out comes prebuilt
.cf files.

I'm not interested in managing a bigevil type list of domains so this
will have to be taken up Chris Santerre's or whoever else wants to
build such a list of domains. I'll keep the code available and answer
questions.
