That question I can definitely answer.  The .tgz and .zip URIs 
mod_rewrite to a CGI that produces the desired output on the fly... from 
the bzr repostory (excluding the .bzr directory).  So... yes.

If the only errors you see are in tests.test_idindex.*, then the only 
feature that doesn't work is the ability to create a bsddb index of 
ids... a feature that is only useful if multiple planets with little 
overlap share a cache.

I'll look into this, but I'm a bit hampered by the fact that bsddb is 
included in the default python install on Ubuntu.
