CLIPPIE ?!!???!????!????!?!?!??!?!?!?

I like it!  Unfortunately some of the symbolism isn't there any more since
Windows XP doesn't have Clippie.  I did a quick Google search on "Clippie
copyright" and didn't turn up anything obvious.

Tux?

There are lots of OpenSource characters that we could do.  I have
the BSD Daemon, the KDE dragon and others as 3D models.

Using different opensource icons would have three effects:

1) It would emphasise the OpenSource nature of the project.
2) Using both Tux and Beastie (and - dare I say it - 'Clippie') would
    emphasise the cross-platform nature of the project.
3) *NOT* using games characters per-se would somewhat de-emphasise
    the idea that PLIB is *ONLY* for games (which it most certainly
    is not.

If we used Clippie - we could have a tool bending him open...to
symbolise the opening of Windows...?
