 Currently selecting "Media File" as the "Link To" target causes an
 embedded image to link to the originally uploaded file.  These files can
 be very large and there is no way to non-destructively resize them on
 upload while retaining this "Link To" functionality.

 This enhancement patch adds a drop down list of available image sizes to
 the form (defaulting to Full Size - the existing behaviour) when "Media
 File" is selected, allowing the user to link to custom image sizes as
 specified in their themes or plugins if desired.

 This is a significant improvement over default functionality, especially
 when used in conjunction with a lightbox plugin.  It allows the user to
 retain the full-size image on the server while being able to specify a
 link to a smaller size if desired.
