97f6089a41 YaCy can now create web page snapshots as pdf documents which can later
be transcoded into jpg for image previews. To create such pdfs you must
do:

Add wkhtmltopdf and imagemagick to your OS, which you can do:
On a Mac download wkhtmltox-0.12.1_osx-cocoa-x86-64.pkg from
http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html and downloadh
ttp://cactuslab.com/imagemagick/assets/ImageMagick-6.8.9-9.pkg.zip
In Debian do "apt-get install wkhtmltopdf imagemagick"

Then check in /Settings_p.html?page=ProxyAccess: "Transparent Proxy" and
"Always Fresh" - this is used by wkhtmltopdf to fetch web pages using
the YaCy proxy. Using "Always Fresh" it is possible to get all pages
from the proxy cache.

Finally, you will see a new option when starting an expert web crawl.
You can set a maximum depth for crawling which should cause a pdf
generation. The resulting pdfs are then available in
DATA/HTCACHE/SNAPSHOTS/<host>.<port>/<depth>/<shard>/<urlhash>.<date>.pdf

ad0da5f246 added new web page snapshot infrastructure which will lead to the
ability to have web page previews in the search results.
(This is a stub, no function available with this yet...)
