+   This program converts all images in a folder to base64
+   for embedding in an html page inside a <style> tag like:
+   <style>
+     .img_name1{content:url("data:image/jpg;base64,abcdef...");}
+     .img_name2{content:url("data:image/jpg;base64,abcdef...");}
+   </style>
+   The 'content' property only works in webkit browsers.
