Re: Patch: Add an approval link to the user "logged in" menu.

It sounds like you went way beyond this, but did you know that there
*IS* an E-mail notification sent by the system already?

The "User Email Contact" in the "User Administration" -> "Settings"
screen will automatically be sent a notification anytime a new approval
is waiting in the system.

As I said, though, it sounds like you went way beyond that anyway, but I
just wanted to make sure you knew.
