Thanks all, I found a plugin that let me do what I wanted to do once I had
tweaked it a little, following your advice. The 'staticfront' plugin adds
rewrite rules to put a static page at the base url instead of home.php; I
just added an option to output a new template to the base url. Something
new I've learned: this kind of stuff can be implemented much more neatly
with plugins!
Thanks again for the help!
