In a plugin, I am generating a paginated link to a category,
i.e. http://localhost/?cat=17&paged=5. The category is known by slug and id.

Is there a way to have this URL converted to the user defined "nice permalink" format,
i.e. http://localhost/category/foo/page/5?

(Assuming we're running Wordpress 2.8/2.9+)
