[wp-hackers] Mass Edit [Category Changes]

[Alex King]

Showing n number of dropdowns including one empty one would probably 
handle the 90% case. A little JS magic could be used to add additional 
dropdowns client-side if needed. If the JS to add additional dropdowns 
was implemented, might not need that one empty one either.
