This may be a carryover from when I was running the gallery.
I was using an ftp transfer program to upload the PUG, and while it would
allow as long a filename as I wanted, it would only display the first 8
characters. The last check I did before uploading was to ensure I had three
of every filename, and I did that on the ftp program itself.
Regarding disallowing anything other than alph-numerics, Igor recommended
that I should do that.
Now that it's all automated, it shouldn't matter, I suppose, but when we
were hand coding each page, and then debugging by eye, it mattered.
