This has been done. Please run "cvs up -dP" to create the new
directories in etc/images and to prune lisp/toolbar.

lisp/ldefs-boot.el contains the string:

  :26219:;;;;;;  "toolbar/tool-bar.el" (17134 20613))

Is it worthwhile to check in the current loaddefs.el in its place?

etc/NEWS contains the following:

  *** The function `find-image' now searches in etc/images/ and etc/.
  The new variable `image-load-path' is a list of locations in which to
  search for image files.  The default is to search in etc/images, then
  in etc/, and finally in the directories specified by `load-path'.
  Subdirectories of etc/ and etc/images are not recursively searched; if
  you put an image file in a subdirectory, you have to specify it
  explicitly; for example, if an image is put in etc/images/foo/bar.xpm:

Is it worthwhile mentioning that all of the images have been moved?
Maybe not, but I think I should add a list of filenames that had
underscores that now have dashes since users will need to know to
update their code.

If you know of any changes that are required to the Emacs and Elisp,
please let me know which section you think would be best.
