name switches with $EnableXXX, even for functions that are enabled by default.
To disable a function, one would do $EnableXXX=0;

In PmWiki modules, a function that is enabled by default is wrapped with

    if (!isset($EnableXXX) || $EnableXXX) {
      ...
    }

and a function that is disabled by default is wrapped with

    if (@$EnableXXX) {
      ...
    }

Take a look at scripts/stdconfig.php for some examples.

I'll definitely add the robots-exclusion code to PmWiki (in the 0.5.x
series, rather than waiting for 0.6 to be released).
