I ask myself if this should be a new topic since I am not writing about 
comments and the Radiant philosophy, but rather about attachments. I 
will go with the flow for now.

Ok, thanks to Bodhi and Dror I actually got this going. This looks a 
real winner to me. With a few small modifications, I got the images to 
display in the Radiant interface (and went ahead and made an "image" 
attachment type, in case I want to upload something and not display it). 
I also added a radius tag for r:image with a class and alt attribute, 
all very rough but working. This fills a very big hole for me 
personally. It is still all a bit rough around the edges (error handling 
in particular is still not well implimented) but does show a nice way 
forward for attachments.

I am wondering how to add some RMagick stuff and various attachement 
types, but that will have to wait.
