Further (hopefully last) question, if I have a 'ready made' file that
I want to use as the thing that pyblosxom will display I can
presumably do something like:-

    entrylist = []
    e = FileEntry(request, ourfile, data['root_datadir'])
    entrylist.append((e._mtime, e))
    data["entry_list"] = entrylist

... and pyblosxom will display the file specified by "ourfile".

You might well ask why don't I simply put "ourfile" in the right place
and get pyblosxom to sort it out from scratch - you might well be
right!  I'll go back and think about that!
