URL Rewriting code finished

I've finished working with the URL rewriting code for a while.
The permalink format has been changed. If you link to a post using the old style permalink, the user's browser will be redirected to the new permalinks, so references to old posts should not be broken.
The new style permalinks are based on the year, month, and day of the post, as well as the post identifier. For example, this post's permalink would be http://perrinelson.com/2007/1/2/355.aspx (Sorry, without more control over the IIS configuration of my website I can't get rid of the ".aspx" there).
The permalinks are hackable now too. What that means is you can strip off path segments and still have a valid URL. For example, http://perrinelson.com/2007/1/2 will bring up a page with all of the posts for today, and http://perrinelson.com/2007/1 will bring up a page with the dates and titles of all of the posts for January, 2007. The titles of the posts will be links to the actual posts. That should make it a lot easier to find a post in the archives.
You can also strip off the month part of the path. That will bring up a page with a link for every month that posts are found in the year. After each link will be a count of the number of posts for that day.
Let me know how you like the new feature, and if you find any bugs in it, please let me know about them in the comments as well.
