I had the idea of adding a single optional JSON object as meta-data to
each unversioned file.  Having such metadata, and publishing it as
part of the /juvlist output, would facilitate new features in pages
such as the Fossil Download page that are drawn based on which
unversion files are available.  (See
https://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk/www/aboutdownload.wiki for
a description of how the Download page currently works.)

The meta-data on each unversioned file could identify the target
platform (linux, max, openbsd, windows, source-code), and the release
version, and perhaps other meta-data.  Such information is current
transmitted using file-naming conventions.  Breaking it out into
explicit meta-data seems to be a better design choice.
