This is exactly why PmWiki includes deleted pages as entries in the
RecentChanges list by default -- because deleting a page counts as 
a change.

However, I'm thinking we might provide a config variable to
remove deleted pages from RecentChanges.  I can't come up with a good
variable name, though... so far the best I have is

    $EnableOmitDeletedPagesFromRecentChanges

which seems awfully long for a configuration variable.  Thankfully
it's not likely to be used very often.  :-) :-)

(Suggestions for better names welcome!)
