I'm a fan of the previews as well, though it needs more thought. Imo
the only ways to do it are:
1. a script that reacts to screenshot/ folders or somesuch
2. add a <screenshotfolder> to the addon.xml spec. This would be
pulled out of the zip and added to a new metadata zip. That way
screenshots could be fetched with the other metadata without
downloading the addon itself (otherwise it makes no sense, right?).
2. Makes way more sense, but I wouldn't be opposed to 1. in the short-term.

Arne?
