Yeah, this sucks.

I'm not sure what would be better though.  I guess we could run an
apache that listens on a high port under Launchpad's control when we run
"make run_codehosting" and have bazaar.launchpad.dev:80 proxy to that.
An alternative would be using something other than Apache to serve the
static data and get away from the horrible prg rewrite interface, but
that's a little bit scary.
