Details:
     The top level quick index is produced/digested from the laszlo- 
explorer
     nav.xml menu.  It appears that laszlo-explorer may have changed  
to use an
     application runner script (loading.jsp) that has some smarts.
     Small Applications are referred to in nav.xml using html names,  
like
     weather.html that shows the application running in a wrapper page  
(weather.html).

     To keep the app running transparent to the user, the change for  
the quick index
     uses the lzx names (e.g. weather.lzx), stealing these names from  
the file shown
     when source is displayed.

     Another valid solution could be to modify Small App entries in  
nav.xml so that they
     have action="popup" (just as LZPIX has).  This would be a simpler  
solution, but
     changes the behavior of the small apps in laszlo explorer.  I  
don't know the exact
     consequences of this solution, so I didn't use it.

Tests:
     To build, from the root svn directory: ant laszlo-explorer, then
     open http://localhost:8080/trunk/quick-index.html in the browser
     (don't open quick-index.html using file:..../quick-index.html)
     It appears that this quick-index.html will overwrite the top level
     index.html at some point during the release build.

     Tried opening all small apps + sources.

Files:
M      quick-index.xslt
