That is odd, for I see my webpage here in front of me. Let me
netcat in to see if it exists.
Looks like it's there. Try appending index.html or something to
see if you get any joy.

You should put it in the root of the CVS for Hurd. From there,
you can run `debbuild` to get your Debian packages. You can find
debuild and other Debian friends in such packages as devscripts.
You most likely want to run `apt-get build-dep hurd` before you
try building so that you can get all your Build-Depends.
