Getopt::Long is a huge, heavy perl module. So why use it?
This {gross,amazing} hack makes all wrapped uses of ikiwiki forgo any
option parsing at all. Options come in preparses via an env var from the
wrapper. As a bonus, Wrapper.pm no longer needs to be updated when command
line options are added to the program. Load time is sped up by around 10%.
ikiwikiwrap --params is no longer supported by this change. You will need
to rebuild your wrappers to take advantage of it.
