Indeed, if we're talking static site generators, Haunt has a lot to 
recommend it, especially because it's written in Guile/Scheme which 
LilyPond devs/contributors know well.  It works with texinfo.  It's 
functional (as in functional programming).  It makes few assumptions, is 
flexible, etc.

The recently revamped Guile website now uses Haunt:
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/

(One issue with the current website build system is we're using an old 
and customized version of texi2html to generate html from texinfo 
files.  Upgrading to the newer texi2any is a longstanding to-do item.)
