If you Mouse-1 on the v icon next to the New button, you get a menu of
things to create. That should be doable in both Emacs 21 and 22 I think.
I think that would be a fine solution until Emacs supports menuable
icons. Oddly enough, i couldn't find the v icon in $g. Can you?

p.s. I found $g/stock_draw-line-with-arrows.png that we could use in
place of our own widen.xpm if the other MH-E developers don't think we
should go with the un-zoom icon.
