[PATCH 2 of 2] ui: Add support for extra 'quick' icons in repo browser

[Ross Thomas]

Wow.  I really didn't mean to trigger such a wide-ranging UI design
discussion.

I'm not sure it's duplication so much as an additional navigation path
to the same functionality.  So ... more UX than UI.

Heh.  The one thing we did agreed on here was that Delete should be a
little more difficult to get to than most ops.  It's positions in the
Admin -> Repositories list and in Options -> Settings -> Advanced is
probably justified given its destructive nature.

*nods*  We went thru a lot of that.  Even considered making the quick
icons be a configurable '3 of n' (either at the admin or user level)
but, as you say, that got crazy _very_ quickly.

BTW, I submitted a new patch that replaces this one with better var/func
names and fixed/refined configurability.  Given the discussion here it
is probably non-viable wrt KT but I did want to make sure a corrected
one was made available.
