 Replying to [ticket:4115 redsweater]:
 > The list of categories returned by getCategoryList should exclude
 "empty" categories by default, as this is how the web UI behaves. It's
 awkward for desktop clients to have a list with weird category names such
 as "Blogroll" that are only used in Links.

 I don't agree. Technically, even though they are empty, empty categories
 are still categories and thus should be included when getCategoryList is
 called.

 Making the XMLRPC work exactly like web UI doesn't exactly make sense, as
 they're two different implementations.
