This is useful for users that converted KDE and GNOME images to .xpm
in the past, but now may use the original .png images without changing
their xpm based configuration, except for one ImagePath line.

This is also useful for wm-icons. In fact this is the only way the next
wm-icons version (that includes some icon sets in .xpm and some in .png)
may work. Here are examples.

  ImagePath $HOME/.wm-icons:$HOME/.wm-icons;.png
  Style XTerm Icon norm/terminal.xpm, MiniIcon mini/terminal.xpm

The following files are searched with this config:

  $HOME/.wm-icons/norm/terminal.xpm
  $HOME/.wm-icons/norm/terminal.png
  $HOME/.wm-icons/mini/terminal.xpm
  $HOME/.wm-icons/mini/terminal.png

It is now even possible to supress the file extension at all if all
directories in ImagePath define their extensions:

  ImagePath /some/dir;.png:/some/dir;.xbm:/another/dir;.xpm
  AddMenu SomeMenu "%calculator%Calculator" Exec xcalc

The following files are searched:

  /some/dir/calculator.png
  /some/dir/calculator.xbm
  /another/dir/calculator.xpm

There is still a logic to search all images twice, once without ".gz"
extension and once with it. I think it is pretty redundant now.
Because this may be done by "ImagePath /my/gzipped/pixmaps;.xpm.gz".
Does anyone think similarly about removing this ".gz" logic?

Regards,
Mikhael.
