simpledesktops_download.py
A quick script that fetches desktop images from the http://simpledesktops.com/ site.
It will start at the most current list of images and keep moving backwards, downloading
desktop images in to a directory on your local machine, until it finds an image that
already exists on disk. At that point it will stop.
