OK, I've implemented this on a trial basis.  index.html and contents.html
still point to main.shtml, with still includes news.txt.  However, I've
updated the news-get.sh script to maintain both news.txt and main.html,
so we'll see how it goes in the coming days/weeks.  If it seems solid,
we can switch index.html and contents.html over to using main.html,
and we can then get rid of main.shtml and news.txt (and take out the
part in news-get.sh that maintains the latter).

Please have a look and comment.  I'd appreciate the extra eyeballs.
