-ikiwiki --wrapper can be used to generate a wrapper
-program that runs ikiwiki with the specified parameters. This is used for
-[[post-commit]] hooks, [[CGI]], etc, both for convenience and because these
-things often need suid wrapper scripts to make ikiwiki run as the right
-user.

-The generated wrapper is a binary program. What if you want to regenerate
-it with different parameters, or just run ikiwiki like it would but with
-some parameter changed? To easily accomomplish this, the wrappers all
-support being run with --params, which causes them to print out the
-parameters they run ikiwiki with.
-
-You can use this trick to regenerate a wrapper, adding or changing a
-parameter:
-
- ikiwiki $(./ikiwiki-wrap --params) --wikiname="newname" --wrapper
-
-Or just to run ikiwiki like the wrapper would, and add a parameter:
-
- ikiwiki $(./ikiwiki-wrap --params) --rebuild
