all files have relative locations, so can be copied freely.
The only exception is registered/.htaccess. This requires in
its content an absolute path to pass/.htpasswd.

At present, I have made copies
.htaccessHI (for Hammersmith Imanet)
.htaccessSF (for the Sourceforge site)
which can be use when .htaccess is overwritten. Note that their
permissions are more restrictive than for .htacess, so if you 
copy them, adjust permissions with
chmod go+r .htaccess
