One can look at url rewriting or aliasing to get rid of the
pmwiki/pmwiki.php entirely, but an easy mechanism (that I use on
pmwiki.org) is to place an index.php file in the document root:
<?php
header("Location: http://www.somedomain.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php");
?>
Someone browsing to somedomain.com is then automatically forwarded
to the pmwiki.php page.
