Looks very nice!  Is the source-code available?

Can you also please add back version anchors for each version within each
page, e.g., to be able to link to a specific version on the page to see its
commit log:

http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/multimedia/openwv/pkg/README#rev1.1
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/www/Attic/art1.html#rev1.2

Also, looks like the old paths (cgi-bin/cvsweb/) are no longer working,
either, can these get fixed, too?

Best regards,
Constantine.
