it wholly depends on the wiki instance's application of the ACLs.  as part of 
the "restrict page access", it might be desirable for "page existence" to be 
controlled as well.  perhaps extended the ACL interface to make "exists" a 
permission in between "none" and "read".  but considering most people wont 
care, this might make things more complicated than necessary.  which once 
again means a config option.

$conf['acl_none_httpcode'] = 404;
