[Radiant] [PREVIEW] Snapshot extension: serve Radiant sites statically

[Keith Bingman]

I just installed and started playing around with this plugin.  
Basically, it works just great, but it does have one limitation,  
which may not effect most people, but is a big thing for me.

It doesn't parse through Virtual Pages, but just renders them with  
their "literal" urls. I am talking about Archive pages and other  
pages that don't literally exist, which I actually use a lot these  
days (mostly for a tagging extension I am working on). I realize this  
is a small nitpick, but it would be great to figure out how to do this.

Other than that, really cool. I have a few simpler projects which  
just don't warrant an installation of Radiant that would be greatly  
served by this.

Nice work.
