For anything more complex, I'd strongly recommend not rolling your
own; it gets really complex fast. M3 is free, and has a good feature
set. It separates from your CMS (although shouldn't be difficult to
hack up linking - can't remember if there's an API/network interface,
but it's open source so you won't lose it if you add one), but that's
not a bad thing because (in practice) if you get bigger you'll
probably need to do that anyway, either to fit in with a sales network
or to run one of the big boys.
