[Radiant] Subdomains and old urls

[Sean Cribbs]

Chris,

This sounds like a good candidate for an extension.  The basic strategy 
would be to override either SiteController.show_page or Page.find_by_url 
to search for a page that has the passed legacy URL (you'll need to add 
a field in the database), in the case that the requested URL was not 
found.  If a page is found, do a Permanent redirection (301 IIRC) to the 
new URL. If it isn't found, pass through the FileNotFoundPage or exception.
