 The WP function wp_get_recent_posts does a simple SELECT against the posts
 table to get data on recent posts.  This function is currently only used
 by the mw_getRecentPosts() function (XML-RPC method
 metaWeblog.getRecentPosts) to provide clients with a list of recent WP
 posts.

 A check for post_status needs to be added so that wp_get_recent_posts only
 returns data for "real" posts, ones with a post_status of 'draft',
 'publish', 'future', 'pending', or 'private'.

 With out this metaWeblog.getRecentPosts will return data for posts that
 have been deleted when trash is turned on.
