[svn] TODO: -k should convert "hostless absolute" URLs, like <A HREF="/index.html">.

However, Brian McMahon <bm@iucr.org> wants the old incorrect behavior to still
be available as an option, as he depends on it to allow mirrors of his site to
send CGI queries to his original site, but still get graphics off of the mirror
site.  Perhaps this would be better dealt with by adding an option to tell -k
not to convert certain URLs patterns?
