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).

Let's focus on not breaking things here...
