A module containing 2 packages wrapping around the silk and flags icon sets of 
famfam, to make their use in tcl apps easier. Just require the package, then 
load an icon/image by name.


Examples of use
     package require famfam::silk
     set arrows [famfam::silk list *arrow*]
     set rotccw [famfam::silk get arrow_rotate_anticlockwise]

     package require famfam::flags
     set dubya [famfam::flags list w*]
     set wales [famfam::flags get wales]


Ideas for the future
  - Commands to generate packages containing a subset of the icon set.
    - With the icons hardwired into the package code (base64 encoded).
      => Deployable as Tcl Module.
    - With the icons in a subdirectory as for the original package.
    - With the icons attached to the base tcl code (virtual fs).
