you're right, there aren't really any good docs. looking at the plugin source, 
evidently you're supposed to edit the variables below the line that says:

    # Essential data stuff - Edit this for site specific information

however, i looked closer, and 404_handler is straight up ugly. it looks like 
it's designed to lazily migrate entries from one place on disk to another, as 
they're requested. weird. it's definitely not a plain vanilla 404 handler.

i checked my setup, and evidently i gave up on 404_handler.py and wrote a 
simpler custom 404 handler myself. it's not quite cleaned up enough to 
release, but you can take a look at it here:

http://snarfed.org/404.py

right now, the 404 page is hard-coded. it should eventually display a template 
instead.

will, fyi, we should probably deprecate 404_handler.py and maybe switch to 
404.py. i'll put that on my todo list.
