RT has a "local" directory tree, by default in /opt/rt3/local.  Things
here take precedence over things in the actual install tree.  So if
you wanted to customize the main page, you'd copy
share/html/index.html to local/index.html, and edit the copy in
local.   If a file or directory doesn't exist in the local tree, the
version in the install tree is used instead.
