I am getting really aggravated by WordPress's quirks.

* WTF DOES THIS CODE DO? | |

* When using get_adjacent_post(), there is no way to restrict posts to one or two categories, | |
* if the categories in question are not identical to the current post. We get arround that by | |
* having requesting a list of EVERY CATEGORY EXCEPT the one in question, and then pass that | |
* as our list of 'excluded' categories. | |
* | |
* Take a deep breath. | |
* | |
* Yes, it's freaking stupid, but it works. | |

* For reasons that are not obvious to me, | |

* $post object ready to rock, `get_boundary_post` returns an | |
* ARRAY with a single WordPress post. So that we can use them in | |
* similar ways, we have to extract the $post from the returned ARRAY. | |
