[development] Accesslog and Node_counter

[nan wich]

First, the customer has a dread fear of GA (I don't know why). Secondly, this is 
not to display a hit counter on the page, it's for various reports about the 
authors and their departments. Those reports can be filtered on a date range, 
and they would like to have a page view counter that can be filtered on that 
date range.

The data is in accesslog, so it has not yet been deleted, and it obvious that 
Drupal has seen these hits, so Apache has not deflected them.

You could try http://drupal.org/project/google_analytics_counter -- but of 
course, that will by definition give you smaller page view counts (only what 
Google Analytics records, i.e. no bot accesses etc.)
