Subject: 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.

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