CF: Checked into the CVS tree

[Mark Wedel <>]

 A fair amount of changes below.


Make image files and code more generic.  This was largely done to make
adding support for png files easier, but in reality, it means adding support
for any new file format is now trivially easy.  Format of the image
file is:
IMAGE <image num> <datalen> <image name>\n
followed by the image data.
This allows support for binary image formats (png), but also means that
the server doesn't need to know anything about the image format - rather
it is all just data as far as the server is concerned.  I think this
actuallyy loads the xpm data a little faster - it would make sense that
it should, since it just reads all the data in with one fread instead
of parsing it line by line waiting for the end image delimeter.
Note:  While png images are loaded, they are currently not supported
in the client nor will the server send them - that is the next step
in the work, but that will require just a few minor changes to the
server - most of those change will be in the client.

crossedit/xutil.c: Merge bitmap & pixmap load routine into one called   
    ReadImages, function modified to use above format.
crossedit/App.c: Call ReadImages to load images.
include/newserver.h: Change FaceInfo structure to have arrays of data
    and datalength instead of explicity entries for pixmap vs bitmap data.
lib/adm/make_xpm_file.pl, lib/crossfire.cfb, lib/xbmtobdf.c: Removed -
    either note needed or replaced by new naming scheme.
lib/adm/collect_images.pl:  Replacement/improvement of make_xpm_file.pl
    above - this handles all image formats (xbm, xpm, png).  This is
    also more intelligent in that it will not try to rebuild the image files
    if there is not a valid arch directory.
lib/crossfire.png, lib/crossfire.xbm (new files):  .png file is for png
    images.  xbm is to keep with the new standardized naming convention used
    and is for the bitmaps.
lib/crossfire.xpm:  New format used in file.
lib/Makefile.in:  Modified to collect via new script as well as new
    directives to collect (png files).
socket/init.c: Modified to load with the new format and data structures.
socket/request.c: Modified to send data with the new data structures
    provided.

configure.in, configure:  Add check for perl so that we can call scripts
