Automatic transformation of links to image nodes

Hi,
this feature just comes in handy to those people, who don't like to edit all the theme files. It uses Javascript (in fact jquery) to attach the ThickBox to every link that contains an image with the classes "image" and "thumbnail" (defaults uses by image.module for thumbs).
The link of the original link isn't changed, which has a pro and a con: the image nodes can still be opened in a new window/tab on doing a middle click, but therefor the image grouping functionality is not longer working. This could only be changed by "hacking" the ThickBox main javascript.

Heres the patch to the current cvs thickbox.module (sorry for inserting it directly, but it is just allowed to upload one file :/
