That's what I thought, but the fact that sufficient numbers of files and
directories didn't match up between the repository and
/var/www/html/mlton.org made me suspicious. And I didn't know where on
mlton.org I should copy the files from.

"Search Archive" would be fine.

That seems to be a little harder, since HyperArch.py is generating archive
pages for arbitrary lists. Note that in order to narrow google enough,
when you search the mlton list, then I pass -inurl:user to filter out
the mlton-user list, while to search the mlton-user list, I pass
+inulr:user to filter the other way.

Well, my affiliation remains Cornell; I'm just physically located at
Harvard.
