Does the app actually have back end dynamic code or is the whole thing css and html? If so, I would start from scratch and download the sdk and run it as it describes. I built many apps using ASP and one using PHP over the last 10 years. I picked up the environment quickly. I don't use the patch, it's way to complicated. I've built several apps on App Engine now and find it easy to use besides the fun limits. App Engine lets you create a static directory for all files. I would place the HTML and CSS into this directory and start from scratch with a new project.
