Another way to solve these problems would be to use ppm files for the
color icons, since ppm support is built in to Emacs.
The problem I am talking about is not just about icons.
Emacs ought to support various graphics formats,
if their libraries are installed. If they are not installed,
why should Emacs build without complaint and then lack the
functionality? I think it's a mistake.
