Well, I checked in an initial step towards this goal. The old struct
ILIcon has now been replaced by a GPEIconListItem object, and the "add"
functions return a pointer to this newly created object.

So far, this doesn't really buy much. However, it will allow us to
replace stuff like gpe_iconlist_remove_item_with_udata with a function
that takes a pointer to the GObject in question directly. In the medium
term, I plan to start pushing the drawing functionality into the item
objects, at which point they will probably become GtkWidgets in their
own right, and GPEIconList will just be a container widget.

You might notice that GPEIconListItem exposes its internals in the
public interface, because GPEIconList still needs access to them at
present. However, this stuff is not intended to be part of the ABI, and
applications should consider GPEIconListItem to be an opaque object for
the time being.
