[Chameleon] zoomin widget

[Paul Spencer]

Paul,

in the latest chameleon cvs you would provide a toolset attribute to the 
widgets but no image state subtags, which will cause the buttons to be 
represented by whatever image you provide in the image attribute (or via 
the buttonizer if you specify a styleresource), plus a radio button to 
indicate selection within the group.

I think there may be a small bug in this code that causes the current 
tool selection to appear correctly but not be activated (i.e. zoom in 
will appear active but clicking on the map may not do anything because 
the zoom in tool was not correctly activated).  You can work around this 
temporarily by clicking another tool and then the zoomin tool ... but I 
will be trying to fix this in the coming days
