I had a quick chat with a colleague here who has already put some
thought into this as well.
We're going to start using a custom 404 handler which creates a 301
redirect when the user hits a directory.
The handler uses XPATH to look up the directory in an XML file, and
create the appropriate redirect if it finds a match.
If there's no match, it just gives you a standard 404 error page.
I'll probably write a plugin that climbs through the cms publication
structure and creates a default set of information.

I'll write it up when we're done implementing it.
