15-digit category code
I want to have 15-digits, instead of 10-digits for the category codes.

Links Admin does not provide for that change, so:

I manually changed the relevant .def files, and the relevant mysql tables.

Now, everything that is, or refers to the category codes is a BIGINT, size 15.

I can import data with 15-digits into the category table.

But when I tell Links Admin to rebuild the category tree, I get a fatal error:

No parent category found for [my category with a more-than-10-digit category code]!
Your Category table is corrupted. at [the directory] Upgrade.pm line 162.

Is there something I need to change somewhere in the perl that allows for these larger category codes?
