Interresting...
There is also another method described there:
http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/WikiFarm

An alternative would be to use the last element of the path as a key to a
config file.
E.g. http://xxx.org/wiki1/index.php would look for a wiki1.ini config file.

So there are plenty of possibilities that one can implement easily as
wrapper around phpWiki without touching a lot to the sources.

This is a more fundamendal change in the DB design. Less easy to do...
