It's pretty easy to add static directories using Quixote. The
documentation for it is at:

http://www.mems-exchange.org/software/quixote/doc/static-files.html

and in the website the code is in BioWebsite/__init__.py:

docs = StaticDirectory("/home/websites/biopython.org/docs")
files = StaticDirectory("/home/websites/biopython.org/files")

I also specify the stylesheet here. It would be pretty easy to add
other directories here to your liking (although, mailman directories
didn't seem to work when I did that -- their is probably too much
magic going on for our own good; the rewrite rules seem to be the
way to go for that).
