Views module integration (completed)

The views module is a cool new Drupal module, that allows node listings to be presented in customized ways. It provides an API that other modules can easily hook into, to take advantage of the views functionality in node listings anywhere.

The categoryi module would benefit immensely from interfacing with the views API, as displaying node listings (of nodes assigned to categories) is one of its primary functions, and as there currently isn't really any end-user control over the look and feel of these node listings.

This task involves investigating the views API, and developing an integration system between views and category. This integration layer will probably consist of a new module in the category package (perhaps called category_views), which will communicate with the views API, and make the views functionality configurable on a per-containeri basis, through the use of the form and settings operations in hook_category().
