XPM support should be a part of Tk. I know that there is a portable
XPM reader out there from Tk, but I don't like to support things that
are not part of the Tcl/Tk port. Note, it is also required to be able
to get PostScript dumps from the Tk canvas and this functionality is
currently missing from Tk's image types. So we will have no colored
icons until the Sun people add support for it.
