Issue Summary
With this patch, one can cancel the redirection by adding redirect=no to the query string.
Mediawiki uses a similar trick to let users view obsolete pages instead of always being forwarded to the preferred page (for example: this page on Wikipedia). Obsolete pages might still contain useful information, revision history, etc.

I'm a little nervous that this feature could be used to hack a site. Most admins will want to depend on the redirect doing its thing and users NOT being able to view the "from" path pages.
How about a setting to turn this feature on/off? Perhaps we gain a new tab on the admin/build/path_redirect page for "settings" and/or we could put the settings at admin/settings/path_redirect.
I wonder if the variable_get() variables have been loaded before hook_init() is run. Hmmm... Well one way to find out is to try it! :-)
