Ok. Here it is. I forgot to clean up the pre-amble of the file (it's not
your latest version) but I assume that is not really a problem. Note that
the DBM file 'wikilinks', as I defined it, is a very redundant
datastructure, but that makes the lookups quicker (and the code uglier :-)).
I also generalized InsertPage a little so I could use it also for
'wikilinks'. I am not sure if the padding that happens there, is really
neccessary for 'wikilinks', but I assumed it couldn't do much harm.

The RemovePage function now does not report any error whatsoever. I assume
it should report something if a non-existing page is deleted. But I didn't
implment that yet.

I have tested the file here under RedHat 6.2 + PHP3 and RedHat 7.0 + PHP4 and
both seems to work. But there are undoubtedly still some bugs, so let me know.

I also have a short question. I saw that if a request is made for a
non-existing page, this is still counted in wikiscore. That entry remains
there until the non-existing page is explicitly deleted. It's not really
wrong but it surprised me a bit that you would allow entries in a table for
non-existing pages.

Kind regards,
