Pagination can be achieved without the use of a dynamic web
application. I wouldn't recommend guix-web for this right now because
it also loads slowly. Some dynamic thing with a search box would be
cool in the future, but not now.
The Guile source that generates the web pages is available and
hackable, so it would be relatively easy for someone to break this
list up in some sane fashion and send a patch. Any volunteers?
