I've added it to PITS

As for needing it, I wouldn't mind since it'd allow me to go over 
wiki.lyx.org and finally migrate from using wiki words. It's hardly an

documentation point of view, if I can help you write down how it works. 
Right now the workings and syntax of (:pagelist:) is not very clear to 
me...
