I thought about functional interfaces for foreign apps.
But in fact phpwiki needs all configs and helpers, so the only entry 
point is the one we are using now, which is fair enough.
Our TransformText() - "the machinery" - depends on most underlying files.

The real problem with phpwiki as module is the amount of our global vars 
and configs which might clash with the other apps.
That's why I started to work on phpnuke, postnuke, xoops and gforge 
modules, to check for possible conflicts. Besides the auth problematic, 
sharing and overtaking already registered users.

So far only $Theme clashed, that's why I renamed it to $WikiTheme.
The rest should really go into a global $WikiCfg[] somewhen, but not for 
1.3.x, so I thought.
