The file urls.xml contains URL patterns for the comic strips. It looks like

<comic-list>
	<comic>
		<name> Wizard of ID </name>
		<url-pattern> http://picayune.uclick.com/comics/crwiz/%Y/crwiz%y%m%d.gif </url-pattern>
	</comic>
	<comic>
		<name>Garfield</name>
		<url-pattern>http://picayune.uclick.com/comics/ga/%Y/ga%y%m%d.gif</url-pattern>
	</comic>
</comic-list>

You can add or remove from this file, and the changes will be picked up on restart. The
url-pattern is based on the C/Python function strftime and the patterns are substituted`
before the URL is fetched:
	%Y 4-digit year
	%y 2-digit year
	%m 2-digit month
	%d 2-digit day
etc. The actual pattern substituted is for yesterday, to allow for time variations around the
world. e.g.
	%Y-%y-%m-%d on 16 July, 2008 becomes 2008-08-07-15

The comics in the supplied urls.xml are all referenced from www.gocomics.com. Most of the
comic strips are actually on picayune.uclick.com. In order to find the URL pattern for an
additional comic, right click on a comic-strip image and save the url. Reverse engineer 
that to a url-pattern like the above. If you find comics that use a different url pattern
structure not manageable by strftime, then the code will need changing to handle the
pattern type.
