Ugh. Ok. As long as it can happen. Being able to serve ArX from *any*
cheap/free web host is one of its compelling features.
It is really hard to find any information about .listing on the web. Is
this a GNU arch invention, or did it come from somewhere else?
I was quite surprised by all this because darcs doesn't seem to have
this limitation. If I understand correctly, it never needs to do a
directory listing because it keeps inventory and manifest files that
list everything it needs to know about. I'm not sure about that, though.

Is there any realistic way to avoid the need for listings at all? If
not, I guess automatic, robust .listing support is going to be pretty
important (to me).
