Long-standing bug in nextPrev generation, etc.

BUG #1:A long-standing bug which I just fell across yet again is that 
the nextPrev generation inserts entries for index.html files even if 
the hierarchy one is processing doesn't have them. This silly thing 
is worthy of a fix. If I've chosen other names for the items, I 
really don't want nextPrev assuming that I haven't finished yet and 
will add an index.html. Just process what's there, thank you very 
much.

Why am I noticing this today? Because old nextPrev entries won't work 
with guest databases. Sigh. It breaks and doesn't generate any errors.

BUG #2: when a nextPrev entry is processed and there is no match it 
would be nice to (at least optionally) be told that there is no 
matching data in the list.

Specifically, entries which used to look like this:

   GeekTimes.michael.["CU-SeeMe"].reflectors.index

Must now be regenerated to look like this:

 
["rosenkrantz:Users:mickey:Documents:web:GeekTimes.root"].GeekTimes.michael.["CU-SeeMe"].reflectors.index
