The conclusion I came to is that the easiest way to try and retain old
URIs was with Apache redirects rather than attempting to fiddle the
filesystem content to fit in the old hierarchy.
For some reason, Google's index hates the new-style .ucc pages, but might
be a reasonable start for important URIs to remap.
