- new: ability to use ArticleBuilder - http://tinyurl.com/abuildernet

This will modify the content with typos/misspelling. The higher the number the more
typos are generated (but keep it readable for humans). This is not modifying your
anchor text of URL if used in the text.
You might ask for what is this useful? Some say it fights duplicate content,
some say it's rubbish. At least you can decide to use it or not.
