 If you're using ikiwiki without installing it, the svn post-commit wrapper will die (in a difficult-to-debug way) when it tries to execute ikiwiki.pl because it can't find IkiWiki.pm.
 
-I'm not sure how to fix this in a secure way. For now I'm just changing use lib '.' in ikiwiki.pl to point to the hard-coded directory where ikiwiki was unpacked.

+New versions of ikiwiki support installation to nonstandard paths, just set
+PREFIX to the path when running Makefile.PL, and it will set up ikiwiki to
+look in the place it installed the libraries for its perl libraries, etc.

+I don't understand why the wrappers would fail if it were confgured link
