Ugh. I certainly dont' want to do this for the xembed and xsettings
specs, where the spec is maintained in a module along with sample
code, etc. I don't think it really makes sense in general .. the
web module is just going to get bigger and bigger and more
complex.

Also, any reorganization of the web site that moves a spec from one
place to another will lose history without manual intervention on
the CVS server.
