The pages that are searched for variables are held in $VarPagesFmt 
(in vardoc.php).  Are you talking about having a Cookbook.Variables
page, or about defining variables in the various Cookbook pages and
having them automatically picked up?  Keep in mind that PmWiki has
to scan wiki pages to build the variable documentation, and this operation
could get a little expensive if a lot of pages have to be scanned.

I'm working on making it easier to do something when we decide what that
is, but I haven't really felt strongly in favor of any of the proposed
solutions yet.
