Arrgh!  That's what I get for thinking about stuff on the weekends.  I'm
done already.  I haven't given it a serious workout, but it seems to be
working fine.  Tell you what -- so it's not completely wasted, I'll just
give you a .zip of the changed files in case you want to use some of the
ideas later on.  In any case I also coded a few optimizations (mostly
because the module was tagging the database too often) and commented in
descriptions of what various functions do as personal reminders.  I put
comments near each of the changes.

Well, I know that modules can know what categories they're in by using
PHPWS_Fatcat_Elements::getModulesCategories(), but I'm not sure what you
mean by FatCat being aware of what it's categorizing.  Can you give me an
example of what you'd like it to do?

BTW, in my never-ending quest to reduce the server load I also changed a
function in my users/groups.php.  Before it was executing 1 query per group.
Now it does everything in one query using listAllGroups().  SourceForge is
down right now, but I'll submit the bug report when it comes back.
