That indeed turned out to be easy (patch attached).
But I can't get it to work with spiffy. I added the following to
launch and configure spiffy:

;; runspiffy.scm
(use spiffy ssp-handler)

(file-extension-handlers `(("ssp" . ,ssp-handler)))
(index-files '("index.ssp"))
(server-port 8080)
(root-path "/home/mk/web/wwwroot")


and in wwwroot there is

galleries/ 
galleries/index.ssp       ;; copied from the phoghorn egg page
galleries/zoomed.ssp      ;; 
galleries/gallery1/       ;; folders with images
...

Now when browse to localhost:8080/galleries/ I see the contexts of
index.ssp (apparently as a result of executing index.sspx)

No need to mention I'm a web-development noob...

Thanks for any hints!
