[Zope] Image Referers

[marc lindahl]

You might be able to do it with a 'precondition' - Image has that, it runs
the precondiction script first, so you might use it for that.  But you would
have to do it for every image.  Or... better would be to modify Image with a
'corePatch', using the hotfix method to override methods.
