I was missing it - using the Cocoon cli.xconf incorrectly.
All that is needed to do was to add a <uri> element.
That is the appropriate way to process any additional
non-linked files.

Does an example of this exist on the web site?  Not just an 
explanation, but a clear example :-D. As I understand it, to add a page 
that is not linked from the navigation structure:

How do I(tm) add a file/page to a Forrest web site without linking it 
from navigation?
1. Add a file to the src/documentation/xdocs/path/example.html
2. In the page which links it, add a URI/link to 
src/documentation/xdocs/path/example.html
3. There is no step 3

It might also be nice to be able to add it in such a way, and still 
have it linkable from a Site Map (which leads me to the question: Can 
Forrest build a Site Map? I don't think I've ever seen one built with 
Forrest.)

Uh'oh ... i busted the build.

(hey Thorsten, LOL ... we can use me now to "learn by example".)

The addition of the <uri>mirrors.html</uri> to the
main cli.xconf file, means that for every project
that gets built on my system, the default config injects
that uri into their build too.

I should have run 'build test' before commit.
