A cover image is in the directory or overlay, like movie.jpg or
folder.jpg. It can also be inside an mp3 file. An an image and a movie
have image data in them. These are sources for thumnails. The thumnail
itself goes to ~/.thumbnails. You should _never_ copy anything
yourself into that dir.

That means in terms of imdb or thetvdb: we have to copy covers
somewhere, maybe into the overlay. For thetvdb a special hidden dir
inside ~/.beacon for all shows may be a good idea.

~/.beacon/overlay                 right now the overlays are dumped
                                  into the main beacon dir but that
                                  has to change
~/.beacon/tvdb                    metadata info for tv shows, like:
~/.beacon/tvdb/lost/guide.xml     basic info
~/.beacon/tvdb/lost/banner.png    banner image
~/.beacon/tvdb/lost/bg.png        big background
~/.beacon/tvdb/lost/cover.png     cover image
~/.beacon/tvdb/lost/ep01x01.png   screenshot from Lost 1x01

Maybe we can do the same for IMDB? Beacon will check this files and
use some sort of kaa.webinfo to keep it up-to-date.
