It's still easier if the website's files are available
via ftp. Make the job of mirroring easier (no link-chasing),
and makes sure all files are transferred (including unlinked
documents).

If the guy running parnassus could provide an ftp interface
to the website, this should be good enough.

I still think the idea of perl's "install someModule" is
a bit suspect anyway.
