Public bug reported:

I've been afk for a long time (full time work doesn't help!), and would like to get back into the swing of things.
A long time ago, i wrote an extension to dc++ to automatically search for rare files and was wondering if something like this would be a welcome addition to vanilla dc++ or if it would be a waste of time and effort ?
As all the gui stuff will need re-writing with dwt.

If this would be welcome, I would also appreciate some input as my
original code was written to minimize the changes to DC++'s source code,
to make merging with updates easier. If it's too be included it can be
written less "hackish".

Points for consideration which i was never really happy with, with the
original code and input would be nice:

1) When it should run. I originally set it to run after "automatic search for alternatives" had ran. Disabling that, then looping once through the auto search for rare files list, then re-enabling automatic search for alternatives. 
Or something like that, it was years ago now!
Is that the way forward, or ?

2) What to do with the results. I originally dumped them in System log.
For vanilla dc++ i don't think that's a good enough way of going about
it. Also, opinions on automatically queueing up results (i.e. with a
tick box to enable this, per search term).

Any other suggestions are welcome :)

thanks
MikeJJ
