One of those "new kludges" that I've had experience with is analog. It's highly configurable as to what information you want reported, and it addresses all of the issues that Phil has with wwwstat except for non-reporting of referer and browser information: you can alias a file to be reported as another file (with wildcards, even), get distinct host information as well as stats by domain, and get it to do DNS lookups on raw addresses for you. The latest version even uses pretty GIF bargraphs.

I lied, it even deals with all those extra logs.

analog is by far the best freely available web stats program.

Like others, I really appreciate Analog as a stats program (my stats can be viewed by anyone at http://www.ca-probate.com/stats/stats.html).But for a huge number of web site developers, it is impossible to use a program like Analog because the users have no access to their site logs! For those users, the only way to get statistics would be to use a "counter" or "tracker" service. For a list of such services, see http://www.ca-probate.com/counter.htm
