Very well.  I've modified my hacks a little bit, and I've put them up on
http://langmuir.eecs.berkeley.edu/pub/peterm/netrek

The escorting stuff is split into 3 #defines now:

#define ESCORT_STAT

will tabulate and record the stat by players:  it is on by default,
but will make the server incompatible with old db's.

#define ESCORT_STAT_FOR_RANK

will actually use the stat for determining rank

#define ESCORT_DEBUG

will spam everyone with messages when escorting credit is granted.
