We localized and have attached the appropriate zh_CN images. Here's how
we did it:

1) we reviewed all .png files in C/figures and enumerated the list of
those that were locale specific
2) for each of these candidates, we created in zh_CN/figures an image that:
    a) has the same size and aspect ratio
    b) has the same content
    c) snapshotted from precise running zh_CN

Please check these into trunk branch for precise in time for a new
ubuntu-docs upload that will be necessary for the next lang pack release
on 05/11/2012.

Any question about dates? Please discuss with David Planella.

Thanks.
