[32]Upgrade of com_contact to support 1.0 parameters

[RoscoHead]

Currently, the 1.5 Contacts component does not support several of the useful menu parameters that were available in 1.0. I would like to see it upgraded to support the following menu parameters:

Category List - Section
Category List - Category
Category Description
# Category Items
Description (Hide/Show)
Description Text

Appropriate defaults should be set so that current 1.5 sites appear the same as they do now.

2. Introduction
   Currently, the 1.5 Contacts component does not support several of the useful menu parameters that were available in 1.0. This means extra work for people migrating 1.0 sites. The following options are not supprted:
   1. Category List - Section
   2. Category List - Category
   3. Category Description
   4. # Category Items
   5. Description (Hide/Show)
   6. Description Text
3. Scope
   Add these menu parameters to the Contacts component.
   
   
4. Technical Implementation
   This involves the addition of XML parameters, and code in com_contact to handle these.
   
   
5. Impact
   Appropriate defaults must be assigned for the new parameters so that new 1.5 sites are not affected by their introduction.
   Care must be taken to ensure any com_contact template overrides are not adversely affected.
   May affect URL routing.
   May affect database migration.
   
   
6. Dependencies
   None.
