I needed this functionality myself recently and so decided to hack your code
:) My approach was to create a new $conf setting which sets the discussion
feature to "manual" mode. I created a plugin with two new tags: 

~~DISCUSSION~~ 
This will create a new discussion page (or use an existing one) when the
Wiki page is parsed.

~~NODISCUSSION~~ 
This will delete (archive) any existing discussion page when the Wiki page
is parsed.

If manual mode is enabled, the code in discussion.php will only render the
comments and comment form if a discussion page already exists. This
technique allows the Wiki pages to remain cached when discussions are
enabled.

I'll be happy to forward my changes if you are interested. 

BTW, hello to everyone! I've been happily using DokuWiki for a couple weeks
now, but this is my first post to the list.

-Dave
