[ZWeb] [10x]Products: rating and download monitoring

[Lennart Regebro]

Rating is extremely useful, and one of the best tools for any electronic
community, and should really be a part of the whole site. But it gets
complicated as heck to implement in a general and thorougly useful way.

Maybe it *is* a good idea to implement rating just as a small part of the
system first...
