[Building Sakai] sprited portal

[Steve Swinsburg]

I'm a bit concerned about local skins and needing to change the icons.
Right now its a simple matter of dropping in a new icon and adjusting the
CSS. With this sprite change, you'd either need to change the sprite or
change the CSS to refer to a standalone image, thus adding back in the HTTP
requests.

And browsers cache the images anyway, so wouldn't the HTTP requests be
eliminated anyway (except for first page load)? Maybe we should put in more
aggressive cache settings if that is an issue.

Also, did this change go through the TCC? IMO this is a fairly major change
that impacts everyone with a custom skin.
