Still, this will end up being pretty close (the text searched also includes
a list of a page's targets).  So, one could do:

    (:pagelist group=Test -"Category.":)

and this would show all pages that do not have a link to the category group
and that do not contain the string "category." (with the dot, case 
insensitive).  Since there aren't likely to be a lot of pages that contain
"category.", we're left with a list of pages without category links.

Granted, it would be better to be able to write something like

    (:pagelist link=-Category.*:)

but in the meantime using -"Category." is likely to be a useful approximation.
