 `add_theme_support()` didn't exist when I wrote `automatic_feed_links()`.
 It'd be much more appropriate to use it now. Something like
 `add_theme_support( 'automatic-feed-links' )` or something.

 As a reminder: `automatic_feed_links()` tells WordPress that your theme
 doesn't contain any feed links in it's `<head>` and that WordPress should
 dynamically add them itself based on what page the user is viewing. This
 isn't done by default to avoid duplicate feed link output in older themes.

 Fairly simple change, can be slipped into 3.0 I think. I'll have a patch
 ASAP.
