Re: [RFC] Add "static_flavours_main" config var

Static rendering can already do this sort of thing.  You should set
your properties like this:

   static_flavours = ["html"]
   static_urls = ["/index.atom"]

That'll render everything in html and then additionally render the
/index.atom page which is the Atom feed for your index/main page.
There's some information about this at the bottom of the documentation
on static rendering:

   http://pyblosxom.sourceforge.net/1.4/manual/static_rendering.html

under "Rendering other URLs".

Hope that helps!  Also, I hope it works--I haven't done much static
rendering lately.

/will

ps. One thing you could do is open up a bug for issues in our
SourceForge bugtracker, attach the various files, and then send a URL
to the list pointing to your particular bug.
