Could we update the web pages throughout the hierarchy so that the URLs
that have http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net are relative instead of
absolute? When the web page was at the end of a DSL line, this made
sense, but now that we are back in business we should expunge those
absolute URLs I think.

This raises the question: do we really still need ftp access? I like the
legacy files (notably the gnuplot-historical), but we could also move
those to the web repository. I haven't checked about disk space, so
maybe we shouldn't do that, but I wonder whether we really still need
ftp access as a protocol.
