We've been busy getting the damn process to work and get
approved.  It's simple this way.  There's one CGI and
when you run it, it produces output and ergo that's the
"filename" you see.  With some time, we could get clever
and synthesize the name you want.  It's not the highest
of priorities in this process right now.
