[Pmwiki-users] Show referencing pages

[Patrick R. Michaud]

PmWiki 2.0 will likely save the list of outgoing links in each
page.  This would speed up the search for backlinks fairly substantially.

If there's enough demand for it, I may also have PmWiki maintain an
page cross-reference index, which would make backlinks very fast
and trivial to implement.  Someone can add this to PITS if desired
(http://www.pmwiki.org/pmwiki2/pmwiki.php/PITS/NewIssue).

In either case, this will probably only find "direct" links--indirect
links (e.g., those coming from an [:include:] directive) would likely
not be included, at least not in the first implementation.
