Why should we ever care about space?

I don't think that much (or maybe any) reconstruction is necessary.
The things in extradoc really are the tex files, pdfs and what-have-you
that you would expect from their filename extensions.  The problem
is that codespeak improperly serves them up as binary files.  So no 
reconstruction needed.  Just serve them properly.
