If we have the former, we can build the later.  ;-)  The former would
allow us to avoid broken links in released versions of the
documentation, since a new request and redirect could be performed on
the fly.  This is a specific goal; some of the links in "See also"
references have changed, and it would be really nice if those continue
to work -- someone moving the definition of the SHA algorithm
shouldn't break the link from someone's installed documentation.

On the other hand, it's nice to actually resolve the link and add it
as a footnote for the PDF documentation.  (It can still link through
the redirect.)
