I'll rip out the Redirects on FreeFall (given root perms) ;).

What I'm concerned about is that the web site is dependant upon
web server specific configuration that none of the mirror sites
are conscious of.

Either we fix that, by telling the mirror sites to add X configuration
to their server, or we fix the documentation.  Nik's original
argument (in the web site revision thread a few weeks ago) was that
we can't dictate what servers the mirrors are running, and on that
basis I suggest that we shouldn't be depending upon any special
web server configuration.

I'm happy to search through the existing docs looking for references
to the places that are 'Redirect'ed if there aren't any doc people
who've got time.   Is this what you're sugesting 8@).

Joe
