It occurred to me after writing this that the filename (minus
extension) is equivalent to a slug so you wouldn't need to add a
metadata line. Now to imitate wordpress permalinks we'd have to be
able to combine pyblosxom's date-based URLs with filenames (without
categories) to form URLs like: /2009/Jul/17/filename.
