Delete Orphaned Terms

===============================================


DESCRIPTION
-----------
This is a simple utility module for deleting "orphaned" taxonomy terms. By default, terms with zero nodes associated with them are considered orphans, though administrators can specify the number of nodes associated with a term in order for it to be considered an orphan.

This module was inspired by a discussion on the Drupal Dojo group and borrows from code posted by sapark and lesmana.
