a better name for this functionality.
The web UI I'm trying to achieve consists of one

+[HTML page of thumbnails](http://ikialbum.hosted.pseudorandom.co.uk/album/)
as an entry point to the album, where each thumbnail links to

+[a "viewer" HTML page](http://ikialbum.hosted.pseudorandom.co.uk/album/img_0120/)
with a full size image, next/previous thumbnail links, and
[[plugins/comments]].
Every image attached to an album or its subpages is considered to be part of
the album. A "viewer" page, with the wiki's default page extension, will be
-generated to display the image, if there isn't already a page of the same
-name as the image: for instance, if `debconf` is an album and
-`debconf/tuesday/p100.jpg` exists, then `debconf/tuesday/p100.mdwn` might
-be created.

There's currently a hard-coded list of extensions that are treated as images:
`png`, `gif`, `jpg`, `jpeg` or `mov` files. More image and video types could

automatically.

the photo's EXIF tags (creation/modification dates, author, title, caption,
