This sounds like a good idea to me. My naive thinking is that people would want webalizer installed on their web server, which often does not have X installed. I am not a porting person, but how can I help with progressing this so that everyone (i.e. non X-users) can use Webalizer? In any case, I am willing to help with testing the install process.
