Thanks, will probably wait until after we install 2 to patch
anything (if it isn't in 2). Note, that this affects the Admin
list page too.

We've got an hourly cronjob creating the file; the only problem
is getting the listinfo URL to display that html instead of
running listinfo. For now we just have an alternate URL for the
pre-generated list of lists.
