-I noticed when generating my wiki that all of my RSS feeds were
-getting regenerated even when I edited only a page that did not affect
-any feed.

-I found that the problem only occurs in the presence of a file that

-> How is this unexpected? By inlining _every_ page in the wiki, you're
-> making that page depend on every other page; any change to any page in
-> the wiki will result in the inlining page and its rss feed needing to be

-	echo '\[[inline pages="blog/*"]]' > src/myblog.mdwn

@@ -16,8 +16,13 @@ So two suggestions to fix this:
 
 1. Make command-line arguments override settings in the setup file

 2. Comment out all settings in the example setup file that are simply

    still be self-documenting, but command-line arguments will at least
    work for these settings while they remain commented out.
