I hate the wais: url.  It has very rudely been made so that I can't
keep my databases in a directory structure like

	/wais-databases/
	/wais-databases/newsgroup-a/
	/wais-databases/newsgroup-a/all-the-messy-wais-files
	/wais-databases/newsgroup-b/
	/wais-databases/newsgroup-b/all-the-messy-wais-files
	...

because the / has special meaning.  Can anyone suggest another format
for the wais: URL that lets me give a path to the database?
