+w3m's cgi mode requires that cgis be in /usr/lib/w3m/cgi-bin/, and the url
+for it can be $LIB/script. This presents a problem, since a regular user
+can't add an ikiwiki wrapper to there (nor should they). But,
+/usr/lib/w3m/cgi-bin/ikiwiki could be a meta-wrapper, that is passed the
+path to the real wrapper in PATH_INFO, validates it, and runs the real
+wrapper. So:
+
+<a href="file:///$LIB/ikiwiki.cgi/home/joey/.ikiwiki/wrappers/ikiwiki.cgi">
+
+Validation is important, because we don't want just any html document
+including an evil w3m cgi that gets unintentionally run. The validation I'm
+thinking of is that the ikiwiki meta-wrapper only runs wrappers in
+$HOME/.ikiwiki/wrappers/, which the user presumably controls.
