Rikaichan with ALT image support

I threw this together for myself, so it could use a lot of improvement, but it gets the basic job done.  Up until now Rikaichan ignored the ALT text for images.  Many many japanese sites provide fully detailed ALT text describing their image buttons, making it much easier to navigate the japanese web (especially E-banking and Commerce sites) if you can tell before clicking what a button is about.

PLEASE improve this!  Currently if the button contains a lot of text, I just brute-force translate it word-by-word.  A much better solution would be to hook in google-translate, or display a popup containing the original japanese so the user can roll over it and have rikaichan translate that text bit by bit.
