well, it would certainly be possible to convince gnatsweb to work that way.

i don't know that it would be easy, and i'm not sure that it would be
worth the trouble.  if all you want is the ability to pull up a PR given
a PR number, i'd suggest a simple cgi wrapper around query-pr (with
*lots* of input checking...).  this will take a lot less time and
trouble, and give you what you need.
