well, if people want it, they can request it.  It is only a problem becuase with
every change, there is almost always someone who really wants it the old way,
and therefore yet another pref gets added :)

Design-wise, its hard to say how easy or hard it is.  The numerical pages are
easy, since each really is a page of so many items.  Next and Prev refer to the
next or previous group.  The alpha list is for picking the letter for starting
the list, and it finishes at whatever letter fits the items per page setting
best.  So, which is "Next"? Next letter after the one you just picked, or next
letter after the one last displayed on the page.  If the latter, then the
server has to keep trakc of that and create the right links.  I'm not sure how
much detail the server stores in the build, or what kind of performance
slowdown occurs if you have to add steps.
