Sorry, it just didn't occur to me that it might be a broken
pseudo-redirect that happens to work in some browsers... I only checked
it when Sergiu said explicitely that it is working for him.

(Especially as said you created an alias for
http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd-paper.html, and this works as
expected... Wasn't aware that this is a different thing.)

Actually, as ikiwiki creates a set of static HTML files, I don't think
it can even create proper HTTP redirects... The best it could do is to
simply keep a copy of the file in both locations.
