Well, I guess people have never really required one. I just wrote something
quick and dirty. It really needs some work and you can even use it as a basis
for your own if you want.
I would suggest giving it a property editor, however, but if you want one that
looks like the one for TImageList, you'll have to write it from scratch,
including it's own form. I didn't do a property editor for mine but that is how
I would do it.

TO test, just add the component unit to your uses and create the component
in your form constructor.

TComponent with the list property of the type TObjectList would be the best
to build from.
