In the root of wikifielddomain.com (i.e., not in the pmwiki/ dir), create
.htaccess as:

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^([A-Z].*) /pmwiki/field.php?n=$1 [L,qsappend]
    RewriteRule ^$ /pmwiki/field.php

In your field's config.php file, set:

    $ScriptUrl = 'http://wikifielddomain.com';
    $PubDirUrl = 'http://wikifielddomain.com/pmwiki/pub';

I'm probably forgetting a couple of items but this ought to get
things started in the right direction.
