we wanted to be able to either embed or reference a project file, so I
implemented the two as follows:
*+project.pr+* will insert an image, project.gif, and link it to project.pr
*+400x300:project.pr+* will embed the project in a 400 by 300 size
the rationale for "guessing" the project.gif existence is that we plan
to provide facilities for publishing projects, and therefore can make
sure that the thumbnail is also posted. this facility would probably
be just another project on the swiki, whose "publish" would request a
new name, etc.
and i do agree that general thumbnailing of links is a good idea.
