This patch adds the new option base_url which allows users to set a URL which is then used for converting URLs from relative to absolute URLs.

This option is very useful if you want to convert a random web page and then use it outside of the original context. For a very simple example, if you just want to store the Markdown as a local file for later reference, you would have lost the page context and wouldn't know how to resolve any relative URLs.
