    Doh!

    'symlink' is just shorthand for 'symbolic link', which on the
    command-line is handled using 'ln -s <source> <dest>'.

    So, if I want blah.html to also be accessable as index.html:

    ln -s blah.html index.html

    Beware, though: if you later remove blah.html, index.html will be what
    is known as a "dangling symlink."
