[pmwiki-users] Clean URLs - get rid of "Main"

[Mike]

Thanks for the advice! I tried it, but there was no impact at all -
everything works, but works the same way as it used to.

By the way, my pages actually ARE reachable also if the default group
name is left out, but there is a redirection taking place.
So when the user types www.domain.com/MyPage it will take him to
www.domain.com/Main/MyPage - and thus people just don't know that they
can leave out the "Main"....

Regards,
Mike
