Added admin screens to maintain forums instead of forcing the user to
add a taxonomy.  In addition the patch hides the forum taxonomy from
the categories screen since the forum module does not support all
features of taxonomies.

The patch still needs clean up work for comments and the delete
function needs to remove forum topics when you remove a forum, but I
wanted to get it out for review.

This patch requires the latest forum speed up patch found here
http://drupal.org/node/view/10308.

New patch that properly deletes forum topics when the forum is deleted,
has all code comments, and updates the help text.

not only do i think this looks very good, but i also think image.module
folks should maybe take notice :) (hint hint).

oh, and weren't we gonna split taxonomy.module into taxonomy.inc +
taxonomy.module at one point?

I'm going to commit as soon CVS HEAD is opened up for development.  In
the mean time, keep refining this patch so other modules can learn from
it.

Is this going to get committed? Talk about it on CS developers list.

Also: can this separate multiple forums? Can it be extended to support
multiple forums?

I'm afraid it does no longer apply.  It's probably fairly easy to update
though.
