* with this, you type your links as:
* category|name|url|description
* and save it as something like links.txt
* This php script will then produce a hashtable
* from that file, and, unless you choose to change it,
* a page whose main body is:
* a line of anchor tags, each pointing to a category of links
* groups of sorted links, each with an category
* with each link in a category an
*
* example lines from links.txt (note the missing description field in 3):
* help|Linux Documentation Project|http://www.tldp.org/|big collection of docs
* localhelp|documents in /usr/share/doc|usr/share/doc|system docs
* images|photos by foo|~foo/photos/|
* images|drawings by bar|~bar/jpg/index.html|barzart

* Much thanks to the person going by the chatalias of "f3ew" for his
* suggestion to learn about hashtables. It made a big difference in both
* the simplicity and the speed of this script.
