The site is up (at least at my end).  Looks interesting...would all
commands have to be prepended with 'apv' then?  I don't think many people
would want to do that.  We could probably patch bash to do this for us, or
there may be a better way.

But there's no real reason to do this unless we are going to support
multiple versions (besides appending a number to the spell name) in
Sorcery.

Thoughts?
