Rob:
I have taken the two files you provided, renamed them and placed them in the following directory:
./includes/SpecialMain.page.php ./includes/SpecialMain.php
I have changed Mediawiki:Mainpage to point to Special:Main. I have not changed my main page, so it is the default title "Main Page". When I try to access a page anonymously, I am presented with a message stating:
Login Required: You must log in to view other pages.
Can they be sent directly to the login page if they are not logged in?
Sorry for so many questions, I am very new to all this.
Thanks.

I'd probably take it in this direction:
Just for shits 'n giggles, here's a third take on it - http://wiki.anubite.co.uk/snippets/SpecialMain - files renamed to .txt to avoid web server incompetence.
Set $wgRealMainPage to the title of the main page, and edit MediaWiki:Mainpage, changing it to "Special:Main".
Note that in both the previous examples, the constructor has an invalid name, and use of exit() is a bad idea.
