backlink not recognized in special cases

Arun: when linking to a page in a title, that is with an exclamation mark in front of it, the back link doesn't show up unless there is a space between the WikiWord and the "!". The link is recognized though, just the back link is missing. (noticed it when a linked page showed up as orphaned)

mario: ewiki uses two regular expressions for speed reasons. The one that scans and collects possible WikiWords from pages is rather unclean and tricked by the ambigiousity of the !! for headlines and escaping WikiWords. Therefore the wikiword isn't saved in the according database entry field and not found for the backlinks feature.

Difficult to fix, therefore postponed. But many thanks for your time in reporting it.
