It's $PagePathFmt, and it now applies to more than just WikiWords.
Any link that isn't qualified by a group goes through the sequence given
by $PagePathFmt to locate a target page.

I didn't want to call it $PageSearchPath because (1) it's a ...Fmt variable,
and (2) the word "Search" might somehow imply that it's related to the
search functionality.  Besides, the notion of a PATH variable as being
a list of places to search is fairly well established in Unix and DOS.  :-)

I'm pretty sure the variable name change is mentioned in the 
PmWiki.ChangesFromPmWiki1 page (I can't check at the moment because I'm
still working w/tech support on the pmwiki.org configuration problem).
