[Zope] object icons

[Loren Stafford]

Oops. What I said below doesn't even work in my installation. I guess I
can't help much.

I also tried the stuff in the "Product Icons" section at
http://www.zope.org/Members/Zen/howto/ProductAPITutorial and it doesn't
quite work as documented anymore. But the icon= statement in the Class
definition does seem to take some kind of URL.
