Well, having this XML only for description is a bit useless,
isn't it? But if you like it so much, why not use the XML
features, and give up on the restrictive naming:

<screenshot>
    <thumb>wine_someimage.png</thumb>
    <large>full/wine_someimage.png</thumb>
    <description>
	hey, you can write stuff here..
    </description>
</screenshot>

or we can do (if you want to keep the fixed locations):

<screenshot>
    <name>wine_someimage.png</name>
    <description>
	hey, you can write stuff here..
    </description>
</screenshot>

or maybe:

<screenshot name="wine_someimage.png">
    <description>
	hey, you can write stuff here..
    </description>
</screenshot>

And if so, why stick them into shots/desc? Put them into shots/ directly,
they drive the entire thing. And we should move the thumbnails into a
thumb/ dir for consistency...
