We should come up with some sort of consistent rule for where lisp-package
image files go -- currently it seems kinda random: some packages
(e.g. toolbar) put their images in the lisp directory with the code, some
(previously gnus, and currently only "tree-widget") put them in etc/.

If they're to go in etc/, it would be nice if they went in to a sub-hierarchy
that strictly mirrored the correspodning lisp dirs, to make them easier to
find (for a hacker, not for the code :-).
