[development] clone a node

[Bryan Ollendyke]

There's a switch statement based ajax function in outline_designer (
http://drupal.org/project/outline_designer) called duplicate.  The best way
to clone a node is to load it with drupal node_load then clear out the nid.
Then call node_save and it'll look at the node, see that there isn't a nid
and assign it one.  The rest of the fields will be saved via the nodeapi
hooks.  The function you wrote before looks very similar to the one I used.
