slidy.js rather than slidy.js.gz required for standalone slidy presentations

[GeraldLoeffler]

I need to create a completely stand-alone slidy presentation, i.e. one that does not reference remote URLs.

Using "-s -t slidy" retains references to http://www.w3.org/Talks/Tools/Slidy2 (as documented). As documented, this remote URL can successfully be overwritten with the option "-V slidy-url:Slidy2", where Slidy2 is a local directory unpacked from http://www.w3.org/Talks/Tools/Slidy2/slidy.zip .

However, one of the two references to the local Slidy2 directory included in the generated presentation HTML file is "Slidy2/scripts/slidy.js.gz". It turns out, that at least Chrome will not accept a local zipped JavaScript file. Slidy also provides an unzipped JavaScript file, and, indeed, manually editing that URL in the generated HTML file to point to "Slidy2/scripts/slidy.js" makes the whole offline slidy presentation work.

So: i suggest that pandoc needs an additional variable "slidy-zipped-js" that by default should be true but can be set to false if used together with slidy-url to point to a local unpacked slidy installation, i.e. "-s -t slidy -V slidy-url:Slidy2 -V slidy-zipped-js:false" will result in a link to "Slidy2/scripts/slidy.js" being added to the generated HTML file (instead of the "Slidy2/scripts/slidy.js.gz" if slidy-zipped-js is true).
