Enable amounts in URIs

[hank]

For some reason, URI scanning like the following doesn't seem to work:

litecoin:LSomeAddressaa6a6a66a6a6&amount=1.2345

Potentially add currency code option, like:

litecoin:LSomeAddressaa6a6a66a6a6&amount=1.23&currency=USD

Which would convert to LTC using the rate of LTC/USD in the app.

How would that rate be calculated? Using the API of BTC-e or another exchange?

@VanHoutte right, it would use whatever the app has decided is the correct exchange to use, which would mean the user would have to confirm the number of LTC with the merchant before sending (seems reasonable to me). It sucks that this is the case, but I don't see a good way around it.
