 * I managed to get it to do what i wanted. The answer is:
 * Edit “admin-functions.php”. In line 84, add:
    ` $result[$cat]['cat_description']
   = category_description($cat);`
 * In line 91, change the echo-line of the write-nested-categories functions to 
   the following:
 * ` echo '<label for="category-', $category['cat_ID'], '" title="', $category['
   cat_description'], '" class="selectit"><input value="', $category['cat_ID'],`
 * that’s it.
 * And it shows me how many SQL queries wordpress is uttering to get some output—
   which explains why it does not scale that well…
