Okay. CVS mh-e now has:

  cabinet.pbm
  cabinet.xpm
  execute.pbm
  execute.xpm
  nextpage.pbm
  nextpage.xpm
  refile.pbm
  refile.xpm
  repack.pbm
  repack.xpm
  show.pbm
  show.xpm
  widen.pbm
  widen.xpm
  mail/reply2.pbm
  mail/reply2.xpm

I used "reply2" to avoid collision with the gnus icon.

I'll adapt this as the image directory issue is sorted out.

Works okay now.

I'm sure the new scheme will be okay for third party elisp code.  There
will be some sort of list which they can append a directory to?

I meant until the change.
