Well, heh, despite the seductive uses of the word "simple" I think there's
really nothing simple about what is proposed (apart from the description).

Nevertheless, I will devise a new way to produce the top-level index.html
and you folks can run with it.

PS: Renaming files doesn't affect CVS in any way.  There is no health or
happiness issue. CVS doesn't even do renaming.  You add the new files
(new names) and delete the old ones.

PPS: Renaming isn't what will make testing and maintenance more troublesome.
it's the new code for making the index.html file which turns into a
maintenance and testing problem.  More code == more maintenance.  Axiomatic.
