Matt asked me to get this into core WordPress, so in it goes :-)

I want to go ahead an jump into a specific API for core.  For our  
other wp.* methods we've followed the metaWeblog.* format for method  
arguments, so I'd suggest the following methods/arguments:

wp.getLinkCategories
	blog_id (int) required
	username (string) required
	password (string) required
	
wp.getLinks
	blog_id (int) required
	username (string) required
	password (string) required
	category_id (int) required
	limit (int) optional

wp.newLink
	blog_id (int) required
	username (string) required
	password (string) required
	link (struct) required
		name (string) required
		url (string) required
		description (string) required, empty
		visible (int) required
		rel (string) required, empty
		rss (string) required, empty
		notes (string) required, empty
		image (string) required, empty
		categories (array) required
			(int)
			
wp.editLink
	blog_id (int) required
	username (string) required
	password (string) required
	link (struct) required
		id (int) required
		name (string) required
		url (string) required
		description (string) required, empty
		visible (int) required
		rel (string) required, empty
		rss (string) required, empty
		notes (string) required, empty
		image (string) required, empty
		categories (array) required
			(int)
	
wp.deleteLink
	blog_id (int) required
	username (string) required
	password (string) required
	link_id (int) required
