Well, I've written a test part where I made a setting for it, like in  
the AdminPart there's a setting :charset, mine looks as follows:

class TestPart
   setting :public, :default => '/part/test'
   setting :charset, :default => 'utf-8'
end

Then in a skin for example I use:

<img src="#{TestPart.public}/media/test.png" />

I'm not so sure whether it's clever to name it :public, maybe  
something nicer could be found. But you get the idea and it could be  
set as guidline for Part developers to always set this setting  
(whether it's :public or something else we define through this  
thread) if the part uses a public/ directory.

Gen could then override this setting while copying the part.
My "gen part" doesn't take the latter into account yet.
