I have an updated version of pmwikiedit that works with v2, I'll
see about posting it.  However, I'm wondering if it would be better
(more consistent) if we had a version written in PHP instead of Perl...?

In v2, the result must be 'action=edit' and 'post=1' (or at least
some value that PHP considers as 'true').

Also note that pmwikiedit doesn't do any simultaneous edit checking;
whatever is submitted is posted, period.
