[pmwiki-users] index.php

[Benjamin Wilson]

We don't overwrite local/config.php because it intrudes on the local 
installation. Likewise, overwriting index.php would intrude upon the 
local installation. Therefore, we should not overwrite.

I have a few wiki farms going, and I have a way to deftly change from 
one version of PmWiki to another that uses index.php. If you overwrite 
that file, it will ruin my local setup.

The less intrusive action is to provide sample-index.php. Although, 
having three ways of accessing pmwiki (e.g. pmwiki.php, index.php, and 
sample-index.php) presents a greater security threat, IMO. I mean, I 
only have one PHP script callable by the browser.
