Improving Sharing Whyteboard Files
Currently, Whyteboard save files store the absolute file path for a PDF and the PNG files that were created when the PDF was converted. This is good for usage on a single computer, but sharing files becomes an issue, as obviously, the direct path for the same PDF on many different users' computers will vary.

probably can use ConfigObj for this, too
------ currently got it working as a python dictionary that's pickled - it's acting like a PDF->image cache, currently 0.38.5)
Could make the feature more useful from here, by not following the absolute PDF path as in the spec
changed series to 0.3, probably won't be in the .38 series
26 Nov: will save all whyteboard-related data (pastes/converted pdfs) into a folder that the save file will associate itself with. this folder must not be renamed
19 dec -- see: new save format
