It is possible to set $conf[nobase64_img] 'true' to disable embedding  
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.
