[wp-hackers] Pull Latest Post from Each of 6 Categories

[Mike Schinkel]

You are probably going to need to use "posts_where" and "posts_join"  
hooks.  Definitely not ideal, but since WP_Query() unfortunately  
doesn't handle that level of complexity, that's what you'll need.  Are  
you familiar with how to build that query in SQL?
