[support] Node reference options guidance

[Thomas G. Willis]

Well, I'm either so LEET that I'm beyond help, or no one cares.

Either way I ended up having to write my own module basically combining the
cck textfield and the cck nodereference to get the functionality my customer
wanted.

It wasn't that hard actually considering I have no idea where the cck api
developers guide is.

So, in case someone else needs something similar. I offer my stupid module
for usage purposes. :)

I figured I'd just create a page, because I'll probably have more over time.
