Is there a better approach to maintaining this link than setting an alias in Apache?

or the same techniques, useful: it contains images with a realistic pixel
count, but very very lossy JPEG compression, to keep the size in bytes low.

It's much, much easier to review changes if you use separate commits for
cosmetic changes like "separate index CSS from viewer CSS" and "more
consistent indentation", and functional changes like turning the prev/next
the cosmetic changes if they were in commits that were literally only
cosmetic changes, with no functional effect.

For the functional bits: I think I'd have used floating boxes instead of the
absolutely-positioned boxes that are currently used if they provided the effect
I wanted. I can't remember exactly why I didn't do that now, but
that matches both our requirements?
