I'm OK with making the menu icons a user option rather than a build time
option.  I really don't have a preference on this issue so give the
people what they want.

The bitmap scaling is a separate issue and needs to be tested by users
with high dpi displays.  I don't recall anyone reporting back on this
yet.  I suppose we could make it a build config option and have some
custom builds available for users to test but I don't want to make this
a default until we have some input.
