[wp-hackers] Mass Edit [Category Changes]

How about listing out the categories a post belongs to as a comma 
delimited list and have a link or button that pops up a small window 
with all of the categories as checkboxes (similar to the current edit page).

Here's an example:

<a>Sample post 1</a>
<a>Edit</a> | <a>Delete</a>
Filed under: Category A, Category B, Category C, Category D | 
<a>Re-assign categories</a>
------------------------
<a>Sample post 2</a>
<a>Edit</a> | <a>Delete</a>
Filed under: Category A, Category D | <a>Re-assign categories</a>
------------------------
<a>Sample post 3</a>
<a>Edit</a> | <a>Delete</a>
Filed under: Category A, Category C, Category D | <a>Re-assign 
categories</a>
------------------------

You get the point.
