Navigation.pm: Added routines to configure navigation icons: read_navigation_icons_file() , write_navigation_icons_file() , read_available_utilities() . Added constant filenames for default icon bar and homepage config files.
InputType.pm: Make get_grading_icons() look in the course icons area to see if the grading icons have been overridden.
Lessons.pm: Load and resolve all the icons before using them, to allow for the course-specific icon overriding. New routine load_general_icons()
Authent.pm: Added new routine resolve_icon()
icon_bar_config.cgi: New program to allow users to configure the icon bar.

1	Allow roster select of all users except Staff	12/06/99	Roster.pm (1.26)	develop	Roster.pm: Added "__NoStaff" option to return users in all sections except Staff, in retrieve_users_by_section(). Changed print_section_menu() to a local routine rather than a call up to the general menu printer in Mallard.pm, as that one can't have values and strings that differ.
