Committed changes by Eaton, per issue #37385, to begin moving to
Drupal 4.7 forms API. A *big* thanks to Eaton for this patch set!

Corrected error in HTML pointed out by xqus in issue #36853.
Good catch, xqus.

Committed link editing code from xqus, per issue #35675, and then
converted this new code to Drupal 4.7 forms API.

WARNING: This version is NOT FULLY FUNCTIONAL. In particular, there
is a known infinite loop on adding content with related links. DO
NOT use for production, and the link admin page now does not show
any links in its list. This is an interim commit of work in progress.

This is the initial public (non-sandbox) commit of the code for the new
"links" bundle. It is a multi-module set that offers the following features:

1. An API for managing URLs in a generic way, and for associating these
   links in a many-to-many relationship with nodes. Each link is
   "normalized" internally, to try to merge references to the same URL
   in the database. If the same URL is used multiple times, it appears
   only once but with many node references in the {links_node} table.
   This helps to make processes such as link monitoring and dead link
   detection more efficient. The API also allows each link-node
   association to (optionally) provide an unique node-local title that
   overrides the global title for that particular URL, but only when
   that node is being displayed. In other words, the same URL can appear
   to have multiple different titles.

2. A main links.module that governs the behavior of the bundle's global
   features, and which implements common functionality such as outlink
   tabulation of clicks. Click tabulation is by node and link, so that it
   is possible to find out not only how many times an outbound link has
   been followed, but also how many times it has been followed from each
   node that refers to it.

3. A links_related.module which allows the administrator to add a link
   field to any desired node types in the system. Currently, the node type
   setting is just a boolean flag, and if on, the node can have zero to
   infinity links. In the next version, however, this will become an
   integer where 0 means no links for the given node type, +N means "up to
   N links" for each node of that type, and -N means "exactly N links
   required (non-empty URL).

4. A links_weblink.module which defines a node type of 'weblink', which
   behaves very much like the node type of the same name by Ber Kessels,
   and which in fact is based on his module's code base but uses the
   new links API.

The SQL schema for monitoring is in this release, but the monitoring
module itself is not yet finished.

This code is EXPERIMENTAL and is under extremely active development. A
project will be created for issue reporting along with this new CVS
release.
