>Summary: Include "covers" for pdfs in xsl fo 

Initial Comment:
We use full-page gifs for "covers" on our pdfs. I've 
hacked at the xsl/fo stylesheets to add one in. In 
this version if you set include.cover to 1, it will 
include a page at the beginning of the document with 
the image: images/cover.gif.

I'm sure there's a more graceful way to do this, so 
I'm including it as a feature request:

I'm deleting this because I'm pretty sure it's supposed to 
be possible with titlepage.xsl, though I've never gotten a 
mediaobject in the bookinfo to show up on a title page 
using the titlepage template system.
