[development] Making a whole site location aware - a design question

[Dave Cohen]

Scott,

I realize this thread is rather old.  I've been away from my normal email 
client for a while and I lost track of it. Perhaps you've already addressed 
the issues.  If not here's one suggestion.

In your module settings, you could something similar to the block 
configuration.  When configuring a block, you have a chance to show the block 
only on certain pages, or hide it on certain pages.  In your case, you could 
configure your db_rewrite hook to be called in most cases, but not /cron.php 
or /search/*.

Look at the code in block.module for an example.
