    It was renamed to url-file-directory.  I checked in a change aliasing
    url-basepath to url-file-directory, so it should work now.

W3 should use the new name, and set up an alias to the old name if
necessary.  That way, we can delete this alias in a couple of years.
And the alias should have a comment reminding us to do this.
