Interesting hack but unfortunately the problem isn't how to get it to  
redirect (that's already taken care of) but knowing what to redirect  
from.

I did have on idea on this. If there was a convention of putting a  
small section on the bottom of each sphinx page which listed the  
"previous" paths that page was available at. We could then create a  
transmogrifier blueprint which extracted those paths and that could be  
used by transmogrify.ploneremote to set the plone redirector
