It is an interesting idea, and my initial response was to say yes, it 
should be added.

But in my case, the PmWiki farm code sits in a vhost that does not have a 
field. Right now I just prevent serving of pmwiki.php. Adding index.php 
would create another file I would have to protect from serving (or remove).

All of my index.php files actually exist in the fields, and point to the farm.

So my final vote would be no, but sample-index.php would probably be a good 
idea and would be a chance to remind people not to rename pmwiki.php.
