Modify Link Appearance

I've modified my linksdb.module file to include the following changes

* applied steve7946's patch to include the text import of links (http://drupal.org/node/217055)
* modified above so text import now has the option to include a link description
* modified link output so it all appears on one line, to conserve space
* category names now include a count of the number of active links they contain (e.g. Movies and TV (32))

The modified link output only applies to the limited display -- for the full page category display, the links display on multiple lines. Also, the one-line display is a little messy still for those who have the option to edit links, but for anon visitors it looks not too bad.

I'm not much of a coder so this is quite hacked and should be tested before use. Also, I'm sure there are better ways to accomplish what I did so I hope at least these ideas can be patched in to future releases.

I've attached the actual linksdb.module file, I have no idea how to make a patch file.

I will be providing a conversion function to the Web Links module, which already has this and much more.

A conversion function to the Web Links module is available for both 5.x and 6.x. That module provides this feature.
