I've added this page

	http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/MarkupVariables

which lists the variables that are available in the markup by default. In
addition, I've added an example of how you can define your own variable -
it'd be good if someone can comment on that bit. For instance, how do you
get the variable to be "dynamically expanded"? I assume this is involves
doing something like:

	$GLOBALS['var'] = '...<magic code invoking ...Fmt()...>';

I have also made link to the page above from these pages

	http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Variables
	http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/SpecialMarkups
	http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/MarkupMasterIndex

For the last page, MarkupMasterIndex, I've moved the
definition/explanations of the variables from that page to
MarkupVariables. I'm not sure this is the best way to do it... one 
drawback with doing it like this is that searching for {$Namespaced} 
no longer will result in MarkupMasterIndex. Instead, you'll get 
MarkupVariables.

Comments and changes welcome :-)
