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?
