I'm fine with putting this all under 'image/', but I don't think I have
any real opinion either way.  ISTR that Eli was the first to suggest
putting this under 'image-dired/', so maybe he feels differently.

idired is not a bad prefix, and it has some precedent in iimage.el.
OTOH, "image-dired" is not too bad either, and it is a bit more
descriptive.

With the completion framework I use, I can type `C-x p f i dir ut RET'
to visit "image-dired-util.el".  I would assume the story is similar
with other completion frameworks (including the default).  So maybe
using "image-dired-*.el" is okay, since the shorter one doesn't really
(or shouldn't really) save any typing.
