* Patch from Dr. Zini to add link() and backlink() to globlists. This allows
for some handy stuff like: - Using links as a kind of tag; creating blog pages that list all pages containing a given tag/link or not containing some other tag. - Subscribing to mail notifications whenever a change is made to a page that is a backlink of page foo. Ie, "Please notify me of changes in all pages that link to my home page in the wiki" - Locking any pages that are linked to from a particular page, so that lists of locks can be exposed in the wiki.
