[themes] forward module link themeing

[Bibleinfo.com - Design]

Mark,

While playing with the Forward.module a few months ago, I wrote a  
patch to create a forward block that will do the forward  
functionality straight from the page but as a block, and not inline  
so the user never has to leave the page.

The patch file is at http://drupal.org/node/93499 in the issue queue  
but has not been committed.

Hopefully that is something that will be useful for someone.
