Tim, is there any chance that Bastien forgot to send you some included 
file for nginx configuration? However, the site ignores this file even 
it exists somewhere on filesystem.

I do not have ready to use snippet, but I am sure it should be possible 
to set specific 404 pages for particular directories like the manual and 
the guide. Of course, these pages, besides links to table of contents, 
may have another link to index.html or a navigation header shared with 
other pages on the site.
