        In -theory- only files that we actually use, and/or are referred to in
should end up in images.zip. So - if it is not in there, it is certainly
not worth having in the source tree IMHO.

        Great. I just checked all these files vs. images.zip and I think
they're good to go. I discovered another rat's nest of evil / ugliness
the other day in:

        extra/source/symbols

        Which are also unbelievably ugly - any ideas if they are used ?

        Thanks !

                Michael.
