OK, makes sense with the bigger picture.  So what is the preferred way of
handling this issue?  Should recipe authors explicitly not depend on the
value of $pagename while config.php is being processed?  If we need to
depend on the value of $pagename should we specify that ResolvePageName() be
called before usage?  Should we explicitly call it within the recipe?
Should we suggest include_once("scripts/stdconfig.php") instead of calling
ResolvePageName()?  What's the best practice in connection with this?
