Can't we have the directory structure internally with /web/ ,
/download/ what have you, and use some serverside URL rewriting to
make translate

 /foo/

into

 /web/foo/

? Does apache have mechanisms for rewriting the serving path without
rewriting the URL that appears in browser window?  If not, I think it
makes sense to keep the /web/ prefix, so we keep have other
subsections of the web later.  Consider, for example, a hypotheticial

  http://lilypond.org/lsr/

Also, do we want to keep old versions of the website (now that it has
been tied to the lilypond version?) online?
