2598	[patch] Added web_path option to FilePathField	scum	Adrian Holovaty	" I understand that you need the full path in order to scan the directory for files but saving the full path information to the database seems completely worthless.  When I am using an object with a filepath field, I need access to the web relative path, not the file system relative path.  What is needed is a web_path variable.  This optional keyword will remove the regular path and replace it with the web_path.

Usage:
icon = models.FilePathField(path=""/Users/scum/Sites/testsite/templates/media/img/icons/"", match="".+.[gif|jpg]"", recursive=True, web_path=""/images/icons"")

Examples:
/Users/scum/Sites/testsite/templates/media/images/icons/icon1.gif
will be saved as '/img/icons/icon1.gif' in the database

/Users/scum/Sites/testsite/templates/media/images/icons/directoryName/icon2.gif
will be saved as '/img/icons/directoryName/icon2.gif' in the database
