Simple File Upload/Attachment mod
I've had numerous requests/inquiries as to whether the Logo/Graphic mod could handle attachments that were not graphics.

I've decided to take some time and create a new plug-in that handles that in a simple way, before continuing with the 02.xx.xx large scale version.

What's planned now:
1) upload any type of file
2) User must pick Text or Binary uploads.
3) What happens to the file when the link is clicked depends on how the MIME-Type is set in your server config.
4) Right now, only one attachment.


What's planned down the road:

1) Upload any type of file -- set limits on file size and # of attachments.
2) User must pick upload type -- Text or Binary
3) Files will be added to an attachments table.
4) Attachments will be formatted (as links) that are added as a <%attachment%> tag to the display templates for "link" and "detailed". What happens to the file when the link is clicked depends on how the MIME-Type is set in your server config.
5) Attachments can be separately validated or invalidated.
6) Actual features to be determined by what hooks are there to link into.
