Analytics, like phpmyvisites

I am looking at increasing our analytical abilities on our Drupal site. I've downloaded Xstatistic and I see the google analytics module (but who knows when I'll get my invite to GA? :-)

I also spent some time today looking at phpmyvisites. My french isn't great, but I can read code. This seems like a solid app, and I am thinking of porting it to drupal.

As I see it, there are several ways to do this:

1. Just port the JavaScript that collects data and integrate it with Xstat
2. Selectively port parts of the PHP over, either by including them and copying the code
3. Just stick phpmyvisites into an iframe or somesuch

phpmyvisites is GPL, so we have a lot of options. I am inclined to implement #1 as a test and see if that can do what I need.

Of course, I could also just try to get some funds for a commercial option. yuck.

Any thoughts on the best way to approach this? I could use some help from a JavaScript wiz. I can cover most of the rest.
