Note that the code I gave depends on the existence of a page called
"HomePage" in whatever group the page being edited belongs to.  So,
if you try to edit Group.ABC and Group.HomePage doesn't exist, then it'll
look for the group password.

Perhaps a better approach would be:

    $pagename = ResolvePageName($pagename);
    $rc = FmtPageName('$Group.HomePage', $pagename);
    if (!PageExists($pagename) && !PageExists($rc))
      $DefaultPasswords['edit'] = crypt('group_creation_password');

This requires the group creation password if the page being edited
doesn't exist *and* there's not a HomePage for the group.
