About categories... please include the display of categories in article for skins other than monobook.

It is important that all cool features are displayed in all skins, to ensure diversity of choice for editors. Otherwise, everyone will switch to monobook to have the opportunity to see use new features; and we might just declare now other skins dead (a dead skin... what an odd idea... too much sun I guess)

I have made a patch which enables display of all articles that belong to multiple categories. Thus, for example, Category:Female/Orthodox/Saint would return all female orthodox saints (that is, all articles which are categorised with at least [[Category:Female]], [[Category:Orthodox]] and [[Category:Saint]]).

I am not sure would this make for much greater database load, but that remains to be seen in practice. Line if(strchr($t,"/")) { and corresponding else block are actually not needed but I have left them because I figure that display of a single category is slightly faster this way, and that at that point it would be easier to turn off this feature if needed. It should also be easy to limit to number of categories if that turns out to be neccesary.
