Add --post-commit option, which allows for the case of a split web server
and RCS server (or a push mirror). With this the RCS server can have a
real post-commit hook that sshs back to the web server, and runs ikiwiki
in post-commit mode to update the wiki.
Fix urls generated by mirrorlist plugin.
Add a templates page to the basewiki. It will automatically list all
available templates. Rename the old templates page to wikitemplates.
Include the note template in the basewiki.
Add a popup template in the basewiki. CSS based on some by Martin Krafft.
Make the note, popup, and plugin templates detect missing variables and be
self-documenting, listing the available variables.
Hide excess backlinks and expand using CSS trick; control quantiy via
the numbacklinks setting.
Finally apply the index.html patch, with thanks to everyone who worked
on and supported creating it (especially Tuomov). This adds a "usedirs"
option that makes ikiwiki use foo/index.html instead of foo.html as
output page names. It is not yet enabled by default.
Fix a bug in the img plugin that caused thumbnailed files to not be
tracked properly.
Make the OpenID library a reccommendation of the Debian package, rather
than just a suggests, since OpenID is enabled by default.
Fix a bug that caused link(foo) to succeed if page foo did not exist.
Fix tags to page names that contain special characters.

Reorder the icon in the template above the stylesheets, to avoid icon
flashing during page load.
