Comment count link-generator is generating several links if the same idcomments_post_id has been used several places, even if a single idcomments_post_url is provided.

When using the generic link with comment count as described on the "Generic update/re-install for other platforms" page, it'll show a link to every page where the same idcomments_post_id has been used, even if I supply a idcomments_post_url value too. The reason for using the same idcomments_post_id across several posts is because we often post new follow-ups for an article, and want to keep comments across.

Example can be seen here(image): http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterhaz...
I can see why you would do this if I did not provide a idocmments_post_url, but when I do, it should only use that url.
Also, it's using the same id attribute for all the html links, which isn't valid according to the html specification. Image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterhaz...

NB!:
This is tested on our test-server, which of course has a different hostname than the production servers. Hence the idcomments_post_url I provide while testing has a different hostname, and hence the idcomments_post_url is not matching any of the urls in your db, but it doubt that's what causing the comments link to be repeated several times.

IMHO, if I supply idcomments_post_url you should link to that no matter what, the comment count is decided by the idcomments_post_id anyway.
