  I too agree that the Gallery slideshow feature should be ported over to
IDS.  I'd be willing to look into this as my next project.

  While browsing the other Gallery features I also noticed the "Album
Mirroring" capabilities they made available.  I've modified the 0.82
source to also make this feature available in IDS.  This lets me run the
CGI part of IDS from my Linux server at home over DSL and then serve all
the bandwidth intensive images from my ISP webserver.  I needed to do
this since I don't have CGI privledges on my ISP - it just has a basic
account for static pages.

  I need to clean up a couple more things before I post the patch for
this, but you can sneak a preview of the album mirror in action on my
server at: http://www2.brayfamily.com/album/index.cgi
