Update.1 activities download script

[Walter Bender]

> could auto-magically key off these pages

One problem is that the naming scheme in the activities.default file,
which is what I used to post the activities on the Peru page, is not
the same as what one sees when you use xo-get or download bundles from
the wiki. Some resolution of the two would be necessary.
