Aargh.  This was my fault, due to a recent complaint about the
coreutils.en.html symlink not working.  I had applied this commit:

since according to that web page:

But maybe that only happens on directories where a .symlinks file
exists, and the fact that I removed .symlinks for coreutils.en.html
broke the index.html linking?

At any rate, I'll quickly fix that by re-adding .symlinks.

As for fmt, I'll let others chime in; it's the sort of thing where a
patch speaks louder than requests.
