Multiple Wikis / InterWiki+ feature abuse

Other WikiWare+ provides means to have multiple namespaces in a wiki,
what if fact is contrary to the original Wiki idea suggesting a
single flat namespace. ewiki does not support SubWikis+ or alike, to
get multiple Wikis using one ewiki installation you'll need multiple
layout and config wrappers (each with its own absolute URL and
differen EWIKI_DB_TABLE_NAME+ or EWIKI_DBFILES_DIRECTORY+ constants).

This way you'd get two independent Wikis (with two different SQL
database tables, or flat_files directories), and of course links
between those two need a special syntax. And the best approach here
was to use the InterWiki+ linking feature.

To do so, invent to InterWikiAbbreviations+ for each of your separate
Wikis and add it to $ewiki_config["interwiki"] as follows:

  $ewiki_config["interwiki"]["main"] = "/wiki/main/?id=";
  $ewiki_config["interwiki"]["office"] = "/wiki/office/?id=";
  $ewiki_config["interwiki"]["tech"] = "http://tech.company.com/?id=";
  $ewiki_config["interwiki"]["our-www"] = "http://www.company.com/";

The last one is an example, on how to use the InterWiki+ feature to
generate references to arbitrary web documents, with a simple syntax
like "our-www:/customers/pub/rules.html+" - it's somehow standard to
use "company-url:" or "company-www:" as InterWikiAbbreviation+ for this
purpose.
