It's useful to be able to blow away the whole generated directory, but then if there are any non-generated files in there, it can become problematic. If we had the ability to specify a "static" folder, like Hugo's static folder, then you'd be able to put non-generated files in there and feel comfortable just blowing away and regenerating with gnorm. This is especially useful if you change the filenames/layout that gets generated.
