The current compile utility ignores anything that doesn't have the
'erl' or 'et' extensions. In addition, it only treats .erl files in
/src/components as (ErlyDB) models or controllers. Any .erl file you
have in /src will just be compiled regularly, and .yaws and .html
files are ignored. When I tested it, .html and .yaws both worked --
just put them in /www.

That's true. Just keep all .erl files that don't end with _view or
_controller outside of src/components, and then you won't even have to
call erlydb:start :)
