Given the nature of the swikis, why can't you do this:
* translate all URL's of the form:
http://myswiki.com/top/squeak/ClassName
http://myswiki.com/topsqueak/ClassName/methodName
http://myswiki.com/topsqueak/ClassCategoryName
http://myswiki.com/topsqueak/ClassName/protocolName
into direct method source lookups (who needs a separate file for these things
when you already have the sources on file)?
* but first look to see if anyone has edited the page; if so, deliver that
page instead.
* accept edits by making a new page with the original method source (or class
summary, or whatever) followed by the new content
This would be transparent, and would only generate new files when someone
changed the content.
