[consulting] Absolute Paths in Content for Better Rss Compatibiliy

[Brian Vuyk]

I know this is approaching it from the other end, but I had a patch 
ready for Aggregator which converted all relative paths in images and 
links to absolute paths:

http://drupal.org/node/395764

It stalled at a certain point, and I haven't really gone back to finish 
it off (coding style fixes and a few unit tests needed). However, the 
logic is simple enough that feed readers could easily implement similar 
methods. Or, for that matter, Drupal could while outputting feeds.
