If you
* Add a link to a non-existant page and save. (e.g. [[somewhere-over-the-rainbow]])
* Click the question mark to create the page.
* Click the cancel button.
You get a 404 as the page doesn't exist. This patch redirects to the from location
if it is known.

I'm a little worried by the `possibly_foolish_untaint` (good name for it by the way,
makes it stick out). I don't think much can be done to exploit this (if anything),
but it seems like you could have a very strict regex there rather than the untaint,
is there aren't going to be many possible extensions. Something like `/(.\w+)+/`
(groups of dot separated alpha-num chars if my perl-foo isn't failing me). You could
at least exclude `/` and `..`. I'm happy to turn this in to a patch if you agree.]
