Great, it works now and is looking good at first sight. Unfortunately 
there's a nasty problem when I try this on Windows: it starts up alright 
(I created a shortcut to the instiki.rb with a port as argument), then I 
create and edit some pages, and then I close the cmd-window that was 
opened by the shortcut. Next time I try to start up instiki I get the 
error from madeleine, that it can't reload the database (data too 
short). So I guess the database doesn't survive the shutdown.

Otherwise I like the approach taken by you and it is lightning fast! One 
suggestion: work with stylesheets in the templates and use them not only 
for presenting a wiki-page but also for the list, changes and search 
results to get an overall look to it.

Cheers,
Carsten.
