We think a lot of the cases can be caught by Mercurial hooks, but that
will not catch changes made by the user.  Ie: When they edit a file
the directory icons below it are not updated.   It should be possible
to fix this when we refresh, but I don't know what Adrian's plans are
in this regard.

Yes, as per usual we aren't artists.  I may pick an existing icon to
stick there in the short term, just so it doesn't stick out so badly.

The menu generation logic is quite simple at the moment.  I'm not sure
if it warrants this kind of complexity yet.

This was the only place I could stick it without duplicating gobs of
code.  It'll be cleaned up when I add support for configurable menus.
