This is nowhere near ready for release, but why not show it?

`Nikola <http://nikola.ralsina.me>`_ can now turn this::

    .. slides::

       /galleries/london-paris-2012/P1000198.JPG
       /galleries/london-paris-2012/2P1000235.JPG
       /galleries/london-paris-2012/3_P1000298.JPG

Into this (which will not look good in RSS):

.. slides::

   /galleries/london-paris-2012/P1000198.thumbnail.JPG
   /galleries/london-paris-2012/2P1000235.thumbnail.JPG
   /galleries/london-paris-2012/3_P1000298.thumbnail.JPG

Missing:

* Customization
* Support for slideshows that are not made of images
* Styling

This is based on `slidejs <http://slidesjs.com/>`_ which seemed neat, but I am not 100% sure it's the way to go (it seems
to look bad if the images are not all the same width, for example).
