I'm not sure what they start in, but they end up as static pages
(similar to what is going on here). Is there a copy of the new XML or
AsciiDoc file of the docs? If Philip can make that available, I can
toy around and see how difficult a setup like this would be.

That's what I get for brainstorming late at night :(

The database uses the SQLite routines instead of MySQL or Postgres
since it doesn't require a separate RDBMS process. To the mirrors,
it's just another file to download in the directory tree....no
scripts, no nothing. Just rsync.
