Next/Previous post

It would be nice to have the ability to link to the next/previous post from each post.

If I get some time this month I will work on a PR for this functionality.

In my mind I see it implemented by modifying getMdFiles to return a double linked list (struct) that can then be used by the worker to enable the template to know the previous/next items.

e.g:

type mdFile struct {
    current os.FileInfo
    previous *mdFile
    next *mdFile
}

Then rather than returning []os.FileInfo, getMdFiles would return []mdFile.

This makes perfect sense and seems like an elegant solution.

Having seen the discussion on categories(#19), the aforementioned mdFile struct could contain a reference for the category/s it's in which can then be used to segment files for each categories index.

Hmm... To be honest, I think this is getting a bit too complicated, as to seemingly defeat the purpose of underblog. I believe prev/next links should not take categories into account, but rather navigate globally, between all posts.
