Tile will use "hitheme" as the default theme if it's available,
otherwise fall back to "aqua" (which should only happen on OSX 10.2).

The current plan is to keep all the QuickDraw/Appearance Manager
code in the "aqua" theme and use (only) Quartz/HITheme APIs in
"hitheme".  Initially "hitheme" will just contain elements that
can *only* be implemented with CG, and inherit the rest from "aqua".
We can reimplement the other elements at leisure, and hopefully end up
with a self-contained, all-CG native theme by the time Apple
decides to kill off QuickDraw entirely.
