[Web4lib] CMS or something else?

Our director has requested that we look into providing some way for
librarians to add content to our web site (http://www.lib.catawba.edu). 
On one hand this is pretty much in the realm of CMS, but I would like to
find something that works behind the scenes, rather than something with
the content management controls right on the page.  In other words, I
want the staff to be able to log into a back end interface that allows
them to add/edit files, while the front end is good ol' XHTML/CSS, same
as what I'd put up using vi on the server itself.
 
I've looked through the CMS matrix, but thus far have not found quite
what I'm looking for, and I'm not sure that a CMS is quite what I'm
looking for.
 
Any suggestions would appreciated.
 
Thanks,
 
Keith
