Jon,

I had thought of scripting a PHP/MySQL backend to read a GPX file and make
the stats automatically.  However, I also figured that once the pages were
caught up to my current stats, it would be as easy as updating it every so
often.

I also looked at writing a GSAK script to generate it as well, but it seemed
too cumbersome.

I'm thinking about looking at making it scripted and allowing others to use
it.  Obviously, there would have to be some monetary gains by spending that
much time on it.  At this time, however, it's simply static pages updated by
me.
