Flatten directory structure
All content files (*.txt, *.html, *.river) are now in /.
I did this to simplify the compilation step, and to make
linking easier.  I'm still thinking about whether I should
move the contents of js/, img/, and lua/ into /, or into
an 'assets' folder of some sort.  We'll see.

18He builds a ship as if it were the last thing \
19holding him together, as if, when he stops, \
20his body will fall onto the plate-glass water \
21and shatter into sand. To keep his morale up \
22he whistles and sings, but the wind whistles [louder][] \
23and taunts him: Your ship will build itself \
24if you throw yourself into the sea; time \
25has a way of growing your beard for you. \
26Soon, you'll find yourself on a rocking chair \
27on some porch made from your ship's timbers. \
28The window behind you is made from a sail, thick \
29canvas, and no one inside will hear your calling \
30for milk or a chamberpot. Your children \
31will have all sailed to the New World and left you. \
32But he tries not to listen, continues to hammer \
33nail after nail into timber after timber, \
34but the wind [finally blows][] him into the growling ocean \
35and the ship falls apart on its own.
