Just checked it in now to testing branch.


Important cmake config options:


1) USE_PNG_BITMAPS is defaulting to ON, change it to OFF if you don't like the
PNGs and want to use XPM for size reasons, or what not.   I think eventually xpm
support goes away.



2) MAINTAIN_PNG defaults to OFF.  Set to ON only if you have all the tools
installed that are described in bitmaps_png/CMakeLists.txt.  If you are not a
PNG maintainer, the *.cpp files are part of the source tree, and you do not have
to build them.  Note to builders, be careful you don't churn the *.cpp files as
PNG bitmaps are built, so that you do not create unnecessary bzr deltas in the
source code tree.


I am done with this for the time being, I have other stuff to do.  Wanted to get
it in now before too much divergence.

Someone else can run with it.

Here are some to do items that need to be fixed:


1) there is something wrong with image.svg, and it is not cleanly generating a
PNG file from inkscape.


2) Two *.svg files were missing, so I provided place holders for now.  Will get
a list of these two sometime soon.  File server is down tonight and it had my
notes on it.
