* Title: Amazon Affiliate "Optimzier"
* Author: Matthew Cobby, matt@andamooka.com, http://www.andamooka.com
* Date: 24th August 2000
* Version: 1.0
*
* Desc: Vaguely inspired by the Amazon Affiliate Grabber by
* Tim Lawrenz, tim@lawrenz.com (availabe from http://www.zend.com).
* This script goes one step further by providing a normal
* search interface to Amazon, which works at 5% fees, and takes
* the results and turns them into "individually linked books"
* which should earn 15% but does so while preserving
* the look and feel of amazon. It also works for the US, UK
* and German versions of the site.
* Module: Part of the Andamooka Toolkit
*
* Disclaimer: If it works, it works. If it doesn't then good luck. This
* software is provided "as is" with absolutely no guarantee.
* Check your operating agreements with Amazon before using this
* because I'm not sure where this technique lies.
