Why do they need to be regenerated?

I assume you've also prepared suitable apache rewrite rules so all our 
old URLs don't break?  That would be a requirement as well.
For any mtime issues, you can use 'touch' to set the mtimes of files to 
arbitrary dates.  I'm think ctime isn't changeable, though (but not sure).
