 * I need someone to write a script/hack for me, please.
 * If I’ve got a post within 2 categories, I need to be able to tell next_post_link()
   tag from which category to pick.
 * I’ve been looking through the template-funcions-links.php, but I really wouldn’t
   know what to do.
 * ExcludedCategories parameter doesn’t help, please don’t suggest it.

 * I got it conceptualized. It should be like this:
 * function next_post_by_cat($cat_id = ”) {
 * > get.category($cat).posts
    > get.current.post.date > select.next.post.by.date
 * output
 * }
 * Easy, ain’t it?
