Long trips without internet access seem to get me in a programming mood. I took a six hour car ride and finally updated the SmoothGallery extension to work properly with newer versions of MediaWiki. I closed out a long standing bug with descriptions while I was at it. Here are the changes:

• Fixed bug when sgallery was used as a tag
• Fixed bug with use of the parser to recursively parse tags
• Fixed bug with descriptions. Descriptions can now be displayed, and wikitext can be used in them.
