[drupal-support] View child categories on category's main page?

[Eric Scouten]

I had a similar need recently and so I patched taxonomy_menu to list 
subcategories in addition to the matching nodes.

I'll try to find some time this weekend to work up a patch and put it up 
on the project page.

In the meantime, if you need something quickly, contact me off-list and 
I will send you the version I'm using now, which is only known to work 
against CVS from a week ago or so and has a couple of other changes in it.
