hardcoded saasta_faves table in functions.php -- is there a way to make this work the same way as other tables?

[Google Code Exporter]

See below for a hardcoded saasta_faves table (functions.php in default theme):

{{{
    get_currentuserinfo();
    if ($user_ID != '') {
        $foo = $wpdb->get_results("select post_id from saasta_faves where user_id=".
$user_ID." and post_id=".get_the_ID());
}}}

Would it be possible to use the "WordPress way" of doing this, so that instead 
of saasta_faves 
you'd write `$wpdb->faves`?

If we ever need to move the blog somewhere else, it might be good if we could 
configure it to 
use some other DB prefix than `saasta_`.

I'm a bit hesitant to touch the wpdb innards.. Granted, it does have stuff like 
$wpdb->posts which equals to 
saasta_posts in our case, but gotta see if it has something like 
$wpdb->table_prefix. If it does, then yeah we 
should definitely use that.

Lo' and behold, I got up my arse and fixed this. All occurences to saasta_posts 
should be replaced w/ $wpdb-
>posts and saasta_faves w/ $wpdb->prefix."faves".

See r124.
