I've looked into the problem, and it's not obvious how to allow that
without requiring users to manually edit the HTML pages.  The problem is
that Galene's HTML files may appear at different levels in the hierarchy;
hence, they cannot use relative links to the CSS and JS files.

The obvious solution would be to make these pages dynamically generated,
but that in turn would make it difficult for people to customise them as
they wish.  Since I think that allowing easy customisation is more
important than making Galene easy to use with reverse proxies, I haven't
done that.

Please let me know if you see a good solution.
