I think that this is pretty easily fixed through Quixote, if what
you want is to be able to browse the files in the folders.

Basically, it looks like it should just require changing
BioWebsite/__init__.py from:

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

to:

docs = StaticDirectory("/home/websites/biopython.org/docs",
                       list_folder = 1)

(and all other directories there we want to allow this form). I
guess this is the right thing to do, although I would prefer that
people just use my pretty web interfaces :-).

I'd make this change myself to test it out but biopython.org doesn't
seem happy with me sshing to it this second (I get
"ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host"
messages). Whenever I figure that out I can make this change if its
what we want. 

Thanks for the comments on documentation and things. I won't repeat
Jeff there, but definitely the feedback is appreciated.
