You would like to publish a directory and everything it contains?  Well,
actually you would want to skip a few things, such as the "AAPDIR"
directory.  Because of these exceptions there is no direct way to do
this.

Assuming you want to publish *.html files, this should work:

	Files =
	:tree manc-2004 {filename = .*\.html}
		_recipe.Files += $name

More info about ":tree" can be found here:

Note that "Files += $name" should work, without the "_recipe", but
there is a mistake in the implementation...
