Oliver says NewPagesFeed already lists page moves. If this is the case, then we
should be evangelizing use of that tool as a short term solution. 

The above solution is only good for enwiki though. If it's inordinately
difficult to add recent moves to Special:NewPages, then I think Option 2, and
creation of a proper Special:RecentMoves, would be the ideal case for most
Wikimedia wikis. 

Ideally, a Special:RecentMoves would...

* Be able to be filtered by moves within any namespace
* Be able to be filtered down to cross-namespace moves 

Brian, I added Dan Garry to this bug, as it seems like it's a part of
Platform's remit. Dan, does that sound reasonable?
