Alas, this won't work, because by the time PmWiki gets around to
loading the per-group customizations it will have already resolved
the pagename.  In general, $DefaultGroup and $DefaultName only work
when called from local/config.php .

Also, I think Florian's request is a little more complex than this,
because he may want PmWiki to know about each group's home page even
from other groups.  In such cases the per-group PHP file isn't called,
and $DefaultName won't be correct for the external wikigroup.

The simplest solution is to simply use the same default home page
in every group, but then use (:redirect:) to go from some home
pages to the correct default.

Anything beyond that will likely require some substantial modification
or customizations to $MakePageNamePatterns or $MakePageNameFunction ,
so that PmWiki can look up the correct home page based on whatever
group is being requested.
