Possible next steps:
* run this mapping extractor not just on the web site but also on the
- svn source code
- mail archives
- IRC archives
- issue tracker
- wiki
* request a copy of the archive so we can recover if it goes away
* implement some sort of interface to look up messages in the haxx archive
via their message-id
* implement a URL scheme in our own URL space, map it to one archive (not
necessarily this one), and then we're somewhat future-proofed against changing
to different archives
