Is anyone familiar with a program that allows per-user, multi-client,
blockfile settings?

Junkbuster is quite effective, but only reads from a global (systemwide)
blockfile.

The banner blockers built into Mozilla, Galeon, Konqueror, et al, are
useful, but only apply to that specific client.

I'm looking for a middle ground, either a modificaton to Junkbuster that
honors user-specific blockfiles (say ~/.junkbuster/blockfile, etc.), or
a common API or specification format that multiple browsers will honor.

Thoughts?
