Just in case this hasn't been mentioned already, you can set the
value of $DefaultPageTextFmt to be any markup that you want displayed
for non-existent pages.

In particular, $DefaultPageTextFmt can be set to things like

    $DefaultPageTextFmt = "(:include Site.PageNotFound:)";

or

    $DefaultPageTextFmt = "(:redirect Site.PageNotFound:)";

to display the contents of Site.PageNotFound or redirect to that
page accordingly.
