Dang, that was easy. Almost too easy... Adding $IN to the globals for _print_cat() and _title_linked() and conditionally tacking '&rip=yes' onto $category_url and $output, respectively, seems to have done the trick. Virtual categories appear to now be fully browsable.
Can anyone think of other places that would need to be modified? I probably won't be using the Random Link option anymore, so the jump routines don't need to be touched. I'm undecided if I want to exclude dead links from searches, but that's a possible area to look into.
The obvious next question is if people are interested in seeing the specific changes I made?
If you want to see it in action, here's my test installation with a sample virtual category (the only one currently set up with any dead links moved into it):
http://run-down.com/...t_id=283&rip=yes
Keep in mind that's a temporary/test installation and may not be functioning or at that location depending on what I'm doing when you happen to visit it...
