I was answering a different question then the one you were asking,
unfortunatly. I understood that the problem was that the cache urls
were difficult to create properly in an automated fasion from the
actual image location, not that the problem was with the actual
extension of the url. [Since, at least in my world, the extension of a
URL means nothing, aside from asthetic concerns. Only the
Content-Type: matters.]

After rereading your original question, what it sounds like you're
looking for can be trivially handled using a Rewrite rule like the
following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.html$ $1 [L,R]
That way, you'll give the (broken) forum software the .html URL it
craves, without adding a patch that breaks the (IMO) major feature of
A::G, that it basically does a sane directory listing and display of
images without adding (or virtually adding) the typical gallery
software detrius of .html files and other junk.
