It's pretty quick and dirty... purl.ly links will detect a 404 at the destination and redirect you to the google cache instead. Works great if that page is in the google cache, but it may not be.

I'll get around to caching the full content of the destinations at time of purl.ly creation next, and serve that if google is missing it.
