just in case you want to make the directories available via apache, you 
can achieve this with mod_autoindex.

see http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_autoindex.html

this module generates the directory listings on the fly and you dont 
have to update the static html-files every time you add a file/dir.
