 At present, if you edit a hierarchical post type (Page, or custom type)
 and have only 1 page OR only have 1 top level page, The "Parent" dropdown
 list will be hidden.

 The title and description remain, but there is no selection box.

 This is due to wp_dropdown_pages() only displaying the {{{<select>}}} if
 pages are present.

 One solution is to hide the entire parent functionality until pages are
 available[[BR]]
 Another is to leave as-is[[BR]]
 And another is to force the display of the {{{<select>}}} element  even
 with no pages (Either all the time, or only when {{{$show_option_none}}}
 is set potentially..

 While this would rarely be run into, It can cause some confusion for
 custom post_types which are more likely to have fewer entries.

 Thoughts?
