Sample output.

Still tweaking format of the index pages.  Pages extracted from
README.md files have a few extra links, can move those around, add
more, add boilerplate header, ....

Note that pages generated by this script are not intended to be edited
by humans, and the script makes no attempt to preserve manual edits to
the tree of pages under its control (the above link is to the root of
the script's tree).

For the moment I'm running the script by hand, at some point I'll set
it up to run under cron so I don't have to remember.  Running under
cron is harmless, nothing happens if nothing has changed.
