At the moment I'm just letting Kom serve the files, it makes my image a little
more portable and self contained.  For production purposes I think serving
static images from apache will be more appropriate.

I have used David Shaffer's guide to starting the web server (see
http://www.shaffer-consulting.com/david/Seaside/GettingSoftware/index.html) and
then I simply put my files into the "FileRoot" (or whatever you choose to call
it) directory.

I then just call http://localhost:9090/foo.jpg
