(Feature) Handle mixed-orientation sets more gracefully

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Slideshow doesn't handle slideshow sets containing a mix of portrait and
landscape formatted images very well.  

I'm not entirely certain what to suggest, maybe some way to dynamically
change the size of the slideshow divs if the image orientation changes?

Can you provide a URL with an example of what you think needs improvement? 
Thank you.

Basically what we want is a 'resize' variant that fits the image's *longest*
dimension within the frame of the slideshow, rather the current behavior (which 
fits
the *shortest* dimension and thus fills the frame entirely).

I'm attaching a patch which achieves this (though without making it 
configurable,
which you'll probably want to add).  It also modifies the transition to fade 
out the
old image even when 'overlap' is not true, which was needed to get the 
transition to
look reasonable when using a mix of image sizes.

Thanks for all your work on such a solid product.  We're almost ready to 
release the
new Plone slideshowfolder incorporating the newest slideshow.js.
