//Preloads multiple images files in order. Accepts a variable number of args
//(each should be quoted):
//  imgURL   - an image filename, URL encoded. (ex: file.gif, http://www.x.com/y.gif)
//
//Creates a new array of Image objects. With each one, it assigns an image source
//from the argument list. These are downloaded essentially simultaneously into the
//client cache. When the user needs a new image file (for example: they go to the
//next web page), the browser should quickly find this image in the cache.
