+/*! Create a new image cache.  An image cache is basically a hash table to look
+  up RrImages.  Each RrImage in the cache may contain one or more Pictures,
+  that is one or more actual copies of image data at various sizes.  For eg,
+  for a window, all of its various icons are loaded into the same RrImage.
+  When an RrImage is drawn and a picture inside it needs to be resized, that
+  is also saved within the RrImage.
+
+  For each picture that an RrImage has, the picture is hashed and that is used
+  as a key to find the RrImage.  So, given any picture in any RrImage in the
+  cache, if you hash it, you will find the RrImage.
