Unfortunately, without some mapping the search engines will toss everything
out.  While they will eventually get around to fetching
http://docs.python.org/ and traversing the tree of pages, but that might
take awhile.  I won't have time for the next day or two to scan the docs
error log, but if I can come up with a list of the ten most frequent
failures I suspect we can easily define RewriteRule directives for them.
