A list of image URLs (with the key "images") and with the key
image:imageurl the raw image data for each image. Now when an Image

Let's move to using rssparser only (have to get rid of the happy/sad
face too, too bad :-) if you find it's really significantly faster. What
was the Makefile issue again?
