It is not possible to use a scrpt for this. Unix does not allow setuid
scripts, and the point of the wrapper is to ensure that ikiwiki runs
as the owner of the wiki when called by eg, the web browser.
--wrapper [file]
Generate a wrapper binary that is hardcoded to do action speci‐
fied by the other options, using the specified input files and
destination directory. The filename to use for the wrapper is
optional.
The wrapper is designed to be safely made suid and be run by
untrusted users, as a post-commit hook, or as a CGI.
There is no requirement that ikiwiki.cgi go in your NFS home directory.
You can put it in /var/www or somewhere like that, and just set the cgiurl
to point to it.
