Okay, let's keep them, at least for now. There will be more
things that need a separate visual representation, like drum
pads. But I'm not sure how these critters behave.

Let me add multi-image support first. That shouldn't be too
nasty and it's the other change where we'd have an "old" and
a "new" style.

The main question in my mind is how to make the list of file
names. Right now, the scanner enters a special file name
state after "imagefileN =" in which it accepts all the
special characters common in file names, until it hits the
last non-blank character in the line.

Extending this to a list of file names would yield a
construct like this:

imagefiles = file name 1
  + file name 2
  + file name 3

with the "+" being some token that tells the scanner there
are more file names. Not sure I like it.

A perhaps friendlier approach would be to have a specia;
concatenation character, e.g., the comma, allowing things
like this:

imagefiles = file name 1, file name 2,
  file name 3
  , file name 4

Drawback: commas inside file names would have to be escaped.

Or, more radical, don't play scanner games and just require
double quotes:

imagefiles = "file name 1", "file name 2",
  "file name 3";

Opinions ?
