[Seaside] Making generated links more understandable

[Nick Ager]

Sorry I wasn't clear. I don't recommend using the file libraries for
deployment, you can use them during development then write the files
contained within the file library out prior to deployment using:

MYFileLibrary default deployFiles.

These files can then be placed in a directory known to your font-end server
such as Nginx and served by it. Of course their are plenty of other ways to
develop such as using WAExternalFileLibrary found here:
http://www.squeaksource.com/Seaside30LGPL,  or simply placing your files on
an external file server such as Amazon S3

Cheers

Nick
