Hi Matt..

About being a spesific workflow - It seems to me that many blender 
projects could contain more images then you could manage manually with ease.

aside from packing shortening the names (does it use the ID name rather 
thrn the orig name for the filename??)....

Moving projects to my laptop or another computer can be a pain, esp if 
the images make the blend 200meg+
this scripts also good for backing up blends that use images from all 
over the place- when you use textures from different repo's

suppose if pack/unpack worked 100% this script may not be needed...  and 
in that case Ill remove it

- Could we have blenders library management done in python? - reproting 
missing files, fixing broken paths etc. - The scripts themselvs arnt 
hard to write- python cal access font/sound/image paths now.
