trac-admin initenv might prompt for a wiki-default path

[eblotml@…]

Trac-admin prompts for default template path, but not for default wiki page path.

The following patch supports wiki-default path on command line and prompts for such a path when initenv command is invoked.

[clay@…]

I would love to see this in 0.9 -- any chance of that happening?

[cmlenz]

See also #156. We need to adopt getopt or optparse for trac-admin initenv to address this stuff, I think.

[cmlenz]

We should be switching to using optparse for initenv, where we could provide an option for overriding the wiki default pages directory.
