Thank goodness you got off easily.  It can always be worse.

I have the big hammer out today, so might want to wait on any edits.

Trying to get ready for PNG:

A) unifying the xpm filenames with the xpm data structure names, while going to
all lower case on both.

B) putting in the shim functions KiBitmap() and KiBitmapNew() which will
eventually get a personality change.

C) making sure each xpm filename is a legal C++ identifier for the new PNG build
automation.

Should be tired/done in another 1.5 hours, I have one more commit.
Think bitmaps/CMakeLists.txt is broken until then.
