 The current smilies in core are just the slightest bit icky. :-)

 Soooo, I made the [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tango-smilies/
 Tango/GNOME Smilies] plugin to replace them with sexier (GPL and Public
 Domain) smilies from the GNOME and Tango icon themes.

 After doing an update for WordPress 2.8, Anthony Cole suggested I prepare
 a patch for core. Here 'tis!

 Not only does this replace all of the default smilies, it adds a few bonus
 ones. All of the icon filenames are derived from the original GNOME/Tango
 names, as I thought that might be easier for folks to understand if they
 require updates in the future. That is easily changed if you don't agree,
 though.

 Two icons need work before this patch is applied:

  * {{{:mrgreen:}}} A quickly inkscaped homage to icon_mrgreen.gif based on
 face-smile-big.png.
  * {{{:roll:}}} There is no direct analogue for this icon (yet).

 I'll see if any of the GNOME artists would be interested in helping with
 these. :-)

 This depends on #10144 (due to smiley strings which contain "/" which
 break in 2.8).
