I'm not too concerned about excessive redundancy.  

I've been hand mirroring some things, but keep wishing for there to be a
better way.  I think that learning more about wget would help, but I

PS files (as much as possible, assuming that they don't just use bitmap
images of the pages like some older MIT documents do).
