[CompStrm Wiki] support for images in AgileWiki3

[Bill la F. <laf...@ya...>]

I'm thinking that the best way to support images is
with an image library, and that we should use file
urls to identify images.

Lets say we have all our graphics in a images
directory and reference it in all our internal html
code as a relative file url like
"file:images/cabinet.gif". 

Now (I think) we can use regular html tools for
creating html files, you just put the images directory
in the same directory where you are working.

AwServlet would, when it encounters such a URL
transform it to reference a copy in its war file.

You might then think that we don't need to make any
changes to AwSwingClient, but if we want to use web
start, the files need to be in a jar file. So
AwSwingClient will also need to transform these file
image urls as it encounters them.

The advantages here are ease of implementation and
speed of access by AwServletClient. The disadvantage
is that we'll need to keep all the images under
svn--users will not be able to add their own images,
though they can still add html content which
references images located elsewhere on the web.

Eventually it would of course be nice to serve up
images from the Ark. But I'd rather take things one
step at a time.
