[NSImage imagedNamed:] and application startup tuning

[Michael Hanni]

Hi,

[NSImage imageNamed:] provides a very easy way to grab images. You can simply
provide a name, minus even an extension, and NSImage will find your image.
However, this can be more intensive than required when you already know your
image's extension. For example, when you strace a gnustep app right now there
are hundreds of attempts to find images -- this method loops through every
possible directory with every possible image extension until it finds the right
one -- used in the AppKit. The time involved is not huge, but it is entirely
unnecessary I think. With the attached patch I've added a '.tiff' extention to
most images loaded in the AppKit.

        * Source/NSApplication: added .tiff to images we grab off the disk 
        to help streamline the loading process.
        * Source/NSBrowserCell.m: ditto
        * Source/NSButtonCell.m: ditto
        * Source/NSMenuItemCell.m: ditto
        * Source/NSMenuItem.m: ditto
        * Source/NSPopUpButtonCell.m: ditto
        * Source/NSScroller.m: ditto
        * Source/NSWindow.m: ditto

Cheers,

Michael
