I've committed your patch. If it now works for vfs, thats fine. However I
just realized that it doesn't work for lang anymore, since it will generate
for example:

https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang3/download_lang3.cgi
but the correct URL is
https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/download_lang.cgi

I think we can not make this work for all components without making them
more alike. There will be a bit manual adjusting of the files involved
(just like when you create the RELEASE-NOTES.txt for a new release).

Benedikt
