This reminded me... I think it'd be very useful if localmap.txt etc could
contain variables. The reason is that I have quite a few lines in my
localmap.txt, and when I wish to test it in another location, I have to
change *all* the lines manually...

In the example above, we might imagine having this instead:

	Gallery		{$ThisSite}/uploads/Gallery/$1

or

	Gallery		${ThisSite}/uploads/Gallery/$1

depending on what syntax flavour you prefer...
