Ah, we strike this chicken-and-egg problem again (or is it
tree-and-seed).
But Forrest does not give you everything with its packaged Cocoon.
Many blocks are deliberately omitted.

Yes we would need some sort of test. Would it be better that this
happens during 'build webapp' rather than at runtime? The welcome.html
page is generated.

This sounds like a good solution, and in sync with Carsten's comment
earlier in this thread. Item 1 is already done with 'build dist'.
Another option is that the sitemap just "reads" the relevant
pre-prepared html doc, i.e. without the zip phase.
