Framework to support generic elements

[sle118]

I have completed an implementation of an image library that reads from spiffy and decodes pictures to memory. My goal is to provide an easy way to add dynamic elements using small icons, 16x16 for example, to picture certain statuses.

I like the way InfoScreens was built and I wonder if there is any way we could implement generic objects that can draw themselves inside a virtual port ( rectangle) provided by the framework. Element classes could implement virtual methods that are needed by InfoScreens. This might require rethinking screen layout, unless elements are limited to a given max height.

I guess the first thing would be to port the picture code to rtos, I am
open to this, I think its a great idea
