Coffee and cake branch

[sebb <se...@gmail.com>]

I have been having a look at the coffee files.
They now build OK on my system and generate the same output as before.

However I cannot work out how the generated Javascript is supposed to be used.
The HTML files still invoke ponymail.js

I tried renaming ponymail-coffee.js as ponymail.js.
However the HTML files call entry points which don't exist in
ponymail-coffee.js.

How are the coffee files supposed to work?
I would have expected the generate Javascript to be a drop-in replacement.
But that's not the case at present.

Would it not make sense to replace list.html with list2.html?
That would at least make it easier to test it situ.

Likewise when work has progressed sufficiently on other pages.

Since the work is in a separate branch it's easy enough to compare
with the existing code.

yes, it's a work in progress, not really much else apart from the bsic
list view right now. I had hoped to work more on it this month,
but...meh, dayjob...

Hopefully I'll have more time in November

With regards,

I see.

However that is not integrated with anything else; it only seems to
work on its own.

there should be a list2.html which correctly uses the new JS. I didn't
want to break the old system right away, so I made a new list html page
for testing.
