-* Maybe it would be possible to make RecentChanges a regular wiki page, by making it a page that renders statically, but somehow runs the cgi at view time to dyamically render the changes?

There might be other ways to do it as a plugin, like making all links to RecentChanges link to the cgi and have the cgi render it on demand.)
