Bug#289973: ITP: didiwiki -- simple WikiWikiWeb implementation with built-in webserver

DidiWiki has the following advantages over the other wikis in the
Debian archive:

* Written in C so *very* fast.

* Very low system requirements, tiny on disk size (~20k
stripped). This makes it particularly useful for handhelds etc.

* No dependencies, entirely self contained. No need for apache,
scripting languages, databases be installed.

* DidiWiki is recommended as a personal wiki (for notes, todo lists
etc.) *not* for running publically (or as root).

In summary, DidiWiki is aimed at those who need a quick, very
lightweight wiki for personal notes etc. without wanting to install
Apache, PHP, MySQL and suchlike. I don't believe there is another wiki
in the Debian archive that satisfies these requirements.
