Archive post count (patch)

Those of you that visit my blog often will notice that I have changed the layout a little bit, and updated the number of posts that are displayed on the front page. The number of posts displayed is controlled by the posts_per_page option. Unfortunately WordPress also uses this value to decide how many posts should be displayed for search results, category pages and archive pages. This is not really ideal, especially when set low (i.e. 2) like my blog is currently.

Reading through the WordPress code I noticed that a query parameter posts_per_archive_page can be used to change this. I propose the Archive Posts Patch to make this query parameter an actual WordPress option.
