<href> tag in IconStyle not working with local files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Use a KML file with an IconStyle referring to a local file icon like this:

<Style id="AirportStyle">
      <IconStyle>
        <color>FFAACD66</color>
        <colormode>normal</colormode>
        <Icon>
          <href>V:\WORK\AppTest\Config\Symbols\AIRPORT.png</href>
        </Icon>
      </IconStyle>

2. This file works in Google Earth, but not with the plugin, I guess that's
because of the file / url difference 
3. With URLs the icon is found normally

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'd expect to see the icon (taken from the local file). Maybe it's the same
difference as FetchKml and FetchKmlLocal

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest source code, win XP pro

Please provide any additional information below.

Hi, local icon files are not supported. This is a limitation of the Api and 
JavaScript in general.

This is likely the cause of my screen overlay problem. Is there a workaround 
for 
this? 

Thanks
