Need a way to get a preview image/icon from a File object

This is needed by applications that want to do uploads.  They want to show a
preview icon before the upload has actually finished.  <input type="file">
already does something like this.

There are ways to do this in Gears tip of tree source.  In order to get Google
applications to move off of this functionality, we need to implement a
replacement WebKit. :)  Specifically Google applications are using this
functionality to make previews of images before upload.  They don't seem to do
so for non-image files.

I don't see anything like this in the FileUpload spec:
