Based on what Steve did, I did a first cut at making the URL's more configurable, using one of the sample sites.

I was trying not to change the underlying code..   I'd love feedback on comments, I'm just starting to learn _javascript_, so extra eyes would be great.  

If this meets approval, what's the best way to submit this for inclusion?

Hi Larry,
  Fyi, here is what I did to host Exhibit. Feel free to post comments
if there is anything I should clarify.

It may well be the case that the software looks to see if a certain library is already loaded, and, if not, it then loads it from MIT. In that case, the solution is for your html file to load the needed libraries (from your server) before the Exhibit code needs them.
