Here is a patch to make map link to its linked pages (when passed `link="yes"`). It is a bit problematic in that it uses a pagespec
to decide what to link to (which is why I wanted it). However, at the time the pagespec is used the links
for each page haven't finished being calculated (we're using the pagespec to figure out those links,
