[xep-support] image retrieval

[Chuck Lima]

David,

Thanks.

I created the tmp dir and then found out that XEP will not convert gifs
due to patent issues.  Once I used gif2png all was right with the world.

I didn't see any reference to image conversion issues in the
documentation (my search was far from comprehensive).  Is there any
chance of that getting mentioned in a later release?
