(defmacro defimage (symbol specs &optional doc)
  "Define SYMBOL as an image.

SPECS is a list of image specifications.  DOC is an optional
documentation string.

Each image specification in SPECS is a property list.  The contents of
a specification are image type dependent.  All specifications must at
least contain the properties `:type TYPE' and `:file FILE', where TYPE
is a symbol specifying the image type, e.g. `xbm', and FILE is the
file to load the image from.  The first image specification whose TYPE
is supported, and FILE exists, is used to define SYMBOL.

Example:

   (defimage test-image ((:type xpm :file \"~/test1.xpm\")
                         (:type xbm :file \"~/test1.xbm\")))"
