I think we *must* change the icons, as well as all images that are used
in any preference applications.
I don't think we can affort any copright problems, that we may get when
stealing property owned by Be or Palm.
All R5 header files have been provided free of charge, and I think without
strings attached, since Be was forced to provide them on their ftp server
as a result of making the libroot sourcecode (a port of the LGPL glibc)
public.
