I got this working, like this:
Menu(Loc("Catchall", Pair(Nil, true), "", homepageTemp1 ::
Hidden :: Nil)) ::
If you add this as the last item in your sitemap, it will catch
everything that the other menus don't catch, and render it with the
template you defined in homepageTemp1.
This *almost* works for 404 handling, except you still get a 200 OK
response when you would expect a 404. I am hoping there is some
mechanism in lift to let me change the status code to 404 for this
menu.
