Yeah for now I'm inheriting directly from the ResourceReader so that I
can get it done -- just copied the code of the ImageReader.  I don't
know how to upgrade Cocoon yet.  I wouldn't mind trying but since I've
already svn up'd my cocoon trunk with the new flattened structure it'd
have the added complexity of trying to do it a against a specific
version and I think that's not a good idea for my first time.  If you
have time, please do.
