Added top-level links.rst file to keep useful links in one place that can be included from other files.

docs/source/links.rst

@@ -0,0 +1,72 b''
+.. This (-*- rst -*-) format file contains commonly used link targets
+   and name substitutions.  It may be included in many files,
+   therefore it should only contain link targets and name
+   substitutions.  Try grepping for "^\.\. _" to find plausible
+   candidates for this list.  
+
+   NOTE: this file must have an extension *opposite* to that of the main reST
+   files in the manuals, so that we can include it with ".. include::"
+   directives, but without triggering warnings from Sphinx for not being listed
+   in any toctree.  Since IPython uses .txt for the main files, this wone will
+   use .rst.
+   
+   NOTE: reST targets are
+   __not_case_sensitive__, so only one target definition is needed for
+   ipython, IPython, etc.
+
+   NOTE: Some of these were taken from the nipy links compendium.
