This probably needs a couple of things:

* enable upload-data export by default in the WikiExporter class (may need to
clean it up first -- you can try this with dumpBackup.php now by passing
--upload option)

* add a thingy for Special:Export similar to the 'include templates' mode to
find all images used by the requested pages and add them on to the output page
set

* find a sane way to handle untrusted/semi-trusted images on import (also
consider images that are accessible via Commons etc and may not need to be
actually copied)

* have WikiImporter handle images by default, so Special:Import and
importDump.php handle them automagically.

There's also the question of whether/how to handle full-data files... the
current export format's upload data extension only includes a URL to the
original file, so isn't suitable as an archival format for actual image data.
And of course we wouldn't want it to include the actual images in standard data
dumps because they're going to be wayyyyy too big.

Probably need to break a few bugs out...

Also see bug 29160 asking about file support on the CLI dumpBackup/importDump;
the feature's there but incomplete and not on by default.
