[wp-hackers] next_posts_link's parameter $max_posts

[DD32]

Looking at the source, Its designed to limit the amount of "Next page"  
possible.

Eg,
next_posts_link('next page', 3);
If theres 10 pages of results, it would show the link on the first 3  
pages, But the 4th and onwards would not have the link.

If its not set, Then it automatically gets set to the number of pages in  
the current result set, So it'd link on page 9, but not 10 (as theres no  
11th page)
