comments plugin fails when post is in datadir root

I just reported
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2926212&group_id=67445&atid=517918
and the same issue was mentioned here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.pyblosxom.devel/2166

comments.py contains a check in cb_story() that abort comment reading
when it fails:

if entry['absolute_path'] and not entry.has_key("nocomments"):

the thing is "absolute_path" is "" when a post is in the datadir root
(ie in no category) and comments won't be read. This means the number of
comments isn't displayed in the list view and there is no "post comment"
link in the story-view.

IMHO the absolute_path test is bogus and should simply be removed. I
have done so locally and things work as expected now.

-if entry['absolute_path'] and not entry.has_key("nocomments"):
+if not entry.has_key("nocomments"):

If more experienced devs agree, it would be good to make that change.
