For pmwiki.org, I install _all_ of PmWiki outside of the web
document root (e.g., as a 'pmwiki/' directory in my home 
directory).  My web directory then has only three entries:

* A 'pub' symlink to $HOME/pmwiki/pub/
* An 'uploads' symlink to $HOME/pmwiki/uploads/
* An index.php file that contains
    <?php
      chdir('/home/pmichaud/pmwiki');
      include_once('pmwiki.php');

With this setup it may be necessary to set $ScriptUrl and
$PubDirUrl, although the defaults may work as well.
