export icons..

[Peter Haworth]

not in response to this issue but I get the feeling that not many  
people use the Image Library feature of LC.  I've imported several  
sets of icons that are generically useful to me across applications  
and it seems to work great.  I did have an issue that the StackRunner  
program didn't display images from my stack's Image Library but I'm  
wondering if there are any other drawbacks to using it.
