JFTR: this has already been done by Graydon, later that day.

The "base work" is kinda finished, the system is working and I did some 
"massive SED-ing" to ease the conversion of many pages, now it "only" 
remains to double-check and correct the "migration-auto" ones and 
completely migrate the ones still in the .moin format ;)

That's up&running, but the auto-update doesn't seem to always work, so 
you may better have a local ikiwiki installation. It needs *lots* of 
perl stuff, but at least on FreeBSD and NetBSD the installation is 
completely automated (also elsewhere, if you use CPAN or a decent 
packaging system, I guess! Richard had a few more problems with the 
Debian packages the other day, but maybe it's just a misunderstanting on 
my side).
