[texhax] Fixing hyperref duplicate page names with unnumbered title page

I have run into the common problem of an unnumbered title page after
which page numbering are reset. This breaks hyperref with the error
message "destination with the same identifier (name{page.1}) has been
already used, duplicate ignored", because from hyperref's point of
view, page 1 occurs twice.

This error is described in the TeX FAQ
(http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=pdfpagelabels) but
offers no elegant solution.

Should I set the title page number to -1 or something like that?
