Re: New Aruba (1x) scenario: Iconify

I second a move to spirit based solution to action icons within Xaraya, even 
for moderately busy sites there will be a speed boost due to less HTTP 
requests.

Yahoo is a good example of using a spirit for their icons used within their 
sites, Google and Amazon are good examples of sites that use it for most of 
their icons and design elements.

I am glad to see an update to all icons and now is a perfect time to also 
optimize them. Thank you Jason for the good idea.
