I have the new icons for the zoom*, run, pause and stop buttons working.
I'll check it in once I'm sure alpha8 is tagged.
The changes involve diva/gui/GUIUtilities.java, so diva.jar will need to be
remade.  The other changes are in ptolemy/vergil.  I renamed
the images slightly to match our current images.

Open issues:
1) The background of the new buttons in different than the default current
background.  Setting the background in Java is fairly difficult (broken).
I can take a look at this, but it could be tricky.  Are we sure we want
a new background color?  The problems we ran in to with getting the background
right in Ptplot were fairly serious.  I'm not a great UI programmer, so
someone else might have a better solution for this.

2) The port and relation icons on the right side are not gifs, they are Diva
figures.  Revamping them to gifs is not for the faint of heart.
The icons are generated in vergil/actor/ExternalIOPortController.java
It might be better to focus on other tasks before returning to these images.
