edit script - still some rough edges

Thanks.  I'm currently working on v1.1, it will have the bb "drop" and
"mv" commands integrated into it.
I also added some more error checking for the log file writes.

I've applied the latest patches, and get an error:

Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at >/usr/lib/hobbit/server/bin/bb-hostedit.pl line 1414.

For help, please send mail to the webmaster (root at localhost), giving >this error message and the time and date of the error.

This is because the apache user isn't permitted to write to the /var/log/hobbit directory.  There should be a test on the file open to see if it was successful rather than just bombing out.

Also, when a host is deleted, do you do a bb localhost "drop deleted.host.name"?  I couldn't find anything like that in my cursory perusal of the script.
