Jean-Pierre will know.

We will need an *.svg file for every wxBitmap that currently is coming from the
/bitmap directory.  There are a few XPMs that don't come from there, and they
can stay XPMs.

The filename spelling issue allows me to muscle through some macro-ized renaming
scheme when I go to take on the coding.

You could just send me the *.svg files in a zip file sometime after we get
approval from Jean-Pierre.   I would then check them into the tree, after which
you could continue to tune them, obviously, in the tree.

Until he says OK to this plan, we wait.


Thanks Fabrizio
