I made the following change to class.style.php to try out this suggestion. 
Please feel free to incorporate this work.

*** Note that I removed some usage of cms_join_path, which was not correctly
used in this case because it returns a string containing DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR -
not valid in URLs.  In any case, forward slash always works even on Windows, so
there is no need to use DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR in PHP programs.  (Well, that's
unless you want to support Windows 95/98)

the purpose of this module is to generate images, not to embed them.
