+> Nice patch, though I see the following problems with it:
+> * The sole pagespec_match in IkiWiki::Render probably should have `$p`
+>   as its third parameter. This will allow add_depends to add a
+>   dependency on a pagespec that matches relative to the page. I made this
+>   changes and it seems to work, new pages are noticed in updates.
+> * `! $from` fails to match pages named "0" :-)
+> * '/./ matches any letter, not just "." :-) :-)
+> * One other major problem. If you look at the doc/examples/blog/index.mdwn
+>   I changed it to use relative globs like "./posts/*", but they didn't work,
+>   because it looked for examples/blog/indexposts/* instead of
+>   examples/blog/index/posts/*. And, of course, what I really expected it to
+>   look for was examples/blog/posts/*. I think you may have made the wrong
+>   choice about that, so I changed it to go the other way. What do you think?
