Attached patch works, is cleaned, and is against DRUPAL-4-6 :)
Comments are welcome.


BTW, implicit object creating (taxonomy.module line 936: $current->tid
= $tids[0];, $current was NULL before that) is generating errors in
PHP5, as chx says. Probably needs to be fixed.

I'd like to have possibilty to use more then one type of operation at
once.
For example, I'd like to say taxonomy/term/1,2+3,4 (nodes with terms 1
and 2 or with terms 3 and 4), or
taxonomy/term/1,2+1,4 (that'd be the same as 1,(2+4) - it means terms
with 1 and (2 or 4))

Since it's not easy to add mixed operators i've started with something
simpler - adding !term (not term) support. This allows to use something
like taxonomy/term/1,!3


The patch is just a test, it'll be completly rewritten to support mixed
operators (if I implement it), but at least shows that adding ! operator
is quite simple and can be done without big changes.

Here's another dirty patch - this time everything is implemented, but I
need to clean it up and make a patch against 4.6.0/cvs - currently it's
against little modified 4.6.0 version (but, OTOH, taxonomy_select_nodes
gets allmost completly rewritten so it does not matter too much).


This patch allows combining AND (,), OR (+) and NOT (!) operators for
taxonomy selections, e.g.
taxonomy/term/1,2+3+4,!5,!6/3
