Issue Summary
Thought that this module could benefit from a random link block, so I wrote one.

we no longer add features to this module, as you may have noticed on the projects page.
but even more so, this code is very specific and should best live in the blocks repository

Is the Links module stable - http://drupal.org/node/24719
I'd rather work from something that is being developed, but from the description it is hard to know if the Links module is even working.
Is this how folks should be setting up a links directory in Drupal 4.6+?

links.module is stable and usable for Drupal 4.7. I believe there's a 4.6 tagged version as well. While weblinks.module will work under 4.6, there are a lot of architectural changes in links.module that make building other solutions (like nice weblink directories) on top of it more developer-friendly.
So, in a nutshell, neither module does what you're looking for out of the box but links.module has stable 4.6 and 4.7 versions, and should be used as the sterting point for new development and new features. it's the module with a future.

Totally into working with the active code base.
How do I pull down the 4.6 version from the cvs. I've got the cvs of the drupal contribs, but haven't pulled out a 4.6 branch before. Are there docs somewhere you could point me to?

Just downloaded the 4.6 tagged versions of the contrib:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib checkout -r DRUPAL-4-6 contributions
Unfortunately, the links module does not exist in this version:
laptop:/var/www/contributions mike$ ls -la modules/links
ls: modules/links: No such file or directory
Just tossing in the Tag to be sure:
laptop:/var/www/contributions mike$ cat CVS/Tag
TDRUPAL-4-6
What am I missing (other than a backport of the links module for 4.6)?
Probably will have to jump to 4.7 sooner...
