Correct... I haven't implemented this part yet.  I do have
some questions about it, however...

Suppose that someone places a PmWiki-formatted page file
into the import directory.  How much information should
import take from that file?  Should it simply update the
text portion of an existing page (treating it as an update),
or should it also grab things such as passwords and/or
page history from the imported file?
