A hook for when a Link is added would be required for this. That would
be a useful hook for something else I had in mind - FeedonFeeds
integration. This would be a useful addition.

1. A wordpress hosted Xref, updated nightly, well linked-to. We could
even call it a part of the available documentation. :)

2. I've thought about this some, it would be neat if we had a tool that created 
a) a diff of the user's modified index.php (for say 1.0.1) against the
1.0.1 default index.php
b) used that diff, and a diff between the default 1.0.1 template and
the default 1.2 template to create a new index.php for use with the
user's upgraded 1.2 blog
(same is true for 1.2 and 1.3)
I know it sounds complicated, was just a thought.

Regards,
Carthik.
