I ran into this when we first moved the web site to SourceForge. 
Apparently  www.boost.org is interpreted by Appache as a request for 
index.html only. If not found, it doesn't try index.htm. In diagnosing the 
problem, I probably just copied index.htm to index.html and forgot about it 
when the Boost URL started to respond properly. Aleksey perhaps when 
through the same process with the release he managed.

The fix could be just to retire index.htm in favor of index.html. That 
would apparently lose the history, but it could always be view via 
index.htm in the attic.

Should I add index.html and delete index.htm?
