Yes, I was thinking that symlinks may be the way to go.  One can even
seet apache2's 'followsymlinks' so that apache can see the symlinked
file without exposing *everything* to the outside world.

What I *really* want is a way to tell dokuwiki that I want it to
create a symlink rather than copying the file.  As it is I'll have to
get dokuwiki to copy the file, then I delete it and put a symlink
there instead.
