25/08/05

Added the sky gradients from Piecrust Design.

Sorted out the mime-types, I think, having set all gradients to be of type "text/other". Text, so that line-ending conversion should be done for people on wierd platforms. Other, as I don't want to view a gradient as text (in the way you would with a README.txt), and on firefox "text/other" forces a download dialogue. Nice. If you know a better type please let me know.
