Excellent question.

Having a core function is a good idea, but maybe it would be easier /
more reliable / less ambiguous  to do

    global $WikiLibDirs;
    $PageStorePath = dirname(__FILE__).'/wiki.d/';
    $where = count($WikiLibDirs);
    if ($where>1) $where--;
    array_splice($WikiLibDirs, $where, 0,
      array(new PageStore($PageStorePath)));

in the recipe script or skin.php script.

Is

   $PageStorePath = dirname(realpath(__FILE__)).'/wiki.d/';

an improvement, or does realpath() make any difference?
