Bah. The patch file is missing, and so is the avar.icio.us
autocomplete JavaScript. Has anybody been working on this a little
more recently? If not, I desperately wanted a tag entry box, so I
cobbled together a plugin[1] that leverages the category system. (That
is, you enter tags in a box; the post is put in those categories if
they exist, and they're created if they don't.)

There's no autocomplete or anything like that, but having it hell-easy
to add categories from the post page was all I really wanted.

[1]: I cheated and added my own plugin hook at the top of post.php, so
perhaps that's not the right word. :) "Hack"? "Abomination"? It was
the only way I could think of that wasn't absurdly inefficient.

Anyhow, if anyone's interested, here 'tis:

Tested only in a nightly build from a fortnight or so ago. Now that's
quality assurance.
