image data. For dynamically generated content, this may (slightly)
reduce size, as the image files can be cached in the browser, rather
than being embedded (and retransmitted) in every refresh of the page.
This advantage is not present when in the compressed stylesheets
generated by Horde_Themes_Css_Compress, since they do not contain
dynamic content and therefor can/will be cached in the client browser
anyway. There is nothing to gain by not embedding the image data. In
this case, *not* embedding image data (when possible), is actually
detrimental to the total download size, as each image file will need
to be downloaded separately with its own header appended (not to speak
of the additional connections to download these files).
Therefor this patch embeds images in compressed stylesheets regardless
of the $conf[nobase64_img] setting and only make it only depend on the
capabilities of the client browser requesting it.
